Invisible homes

What types of residences is Paul talking about?

What are the social needs?

What are effective sampling strategies?Slide4

Goals of research

Four issues of investigation into vernacular buildings.

Focusing

Sampling

Classifying

Characterizing

Case study of unexamined building type.

Same design issues as suburban housingSlide5

Is this vernacular?

Not easily understood as vernacular design.

Better

characterized as Market design.

How

should we distinguish vernacular and market design?Slide8
Slide9

San Francisco housing

Single room, hotels, and room houses

Rank by cost/class

Palace hotels (1:1 bathroom by 1890)

Middle priced hotels (1:1 bathroom by 1920s)

Rooming houses (1:4 or 1:6 bathroom by 1910)

Lodging houses (1:12 bathroom ratio by 1910)Slide10

1880 to 1910 changes to downtown rooming hotels.

Not temporary, but lack a lobby.

Sink in every room

Light wells or set backsSlide14

Modular (repeatable) units in designSlide15
Slide16

Entrance to Sierra HotelSlide17

Finding class in classless society

Downtown rooming houses speak about class.

They are not place identified.

Not “mere commodities.”

Owners and managers paid attention to what most reliable tenants wanted.

Design by moving.Slide18

How are working class different?

Little of personal identification from living quarters.

Variation in the amount of personalization roomers make.

Social identity from the location and basic conditions of their homes.
