Spanning Suburbia

摘要

Suburbia, that early 20th century typology, still holds a fascination for the architect, despite the rise of the larger metropolis and megalopolis. Even in our modern world, the aspirational middle-class values it embodies retain their draw. History has charted suburbia as a battleground for artistic movements -from Mod to punk and now bedroom-generated electronic music; and that's tracked by competing architectural styles: arts and crafts, neo-vernacular, modernism... even post-modernism.
