This study includes an examination of the attitudes which have shaped American domestic architecture, and an explanation of how the symbolic language of American suburban areas is important to the design of suburban residential development. A design case study is included, which illustrates how a concern for the preservation of the symbolic content of suburban form can be integrated with a desire to reduce the wasteful land coverage of the typical suburban settlement, in order to produce a new suburban pattern. Selected drawings and tables are used to illustrate the text, and to help explain the rationale behind the design case study. / Master of Architecture

This dissertation examines the evolution of the urban tissues of Quebec City's "faubourgs." It présents a diachronic morphological analysis of the structuration of the residential tissues of these neighborhoods between 1608 and 2001. It also provides a synchronic analysis of the syntax of the tissues as well as an architectural typology describing the main architectural types in terms of genesis and processes of derivation in successive types. Finally, it examines the practices of different groups of agents and their impacts on morphological change, while stressing the social and economic conditions under which these agents acted. The study is intended as a contribution to the fields of Urban Morphology and Urban History. This case study is among the first to apply in a North American context the theoretical framework and methods developed by the Italian school of process typology. It proposes also to envision morphological transformation through a theory of practice. Drawing heavily on cartographie documentation, urban iconography, and archival material on land development from notarial and religious sources, this urban morphogenetic study posits that the formation of the urban tissue can be better understood as the outeome of a dialectical interplay between purposeful planning practices, everyday "spontaneous" practices, and structurally resilient settlement configurations and urban form inherited from the past.

This study presents an overview of Edgewood Land and Improvement Company's early suburban development in Knoxville, Tennessee. It discusses the history of the Washington Avenue Addition and Lincoln Park, developed by Edgewood between 1888 and 1910. The evidence suggests that Edgewood evolved its marketing strategies for both suburbs: Washington Avenue Addition was first planned as an exclusive enclave for the upper-middle class, while Lincoln Park was initially designed for the middle class. Due to national and local economic problems, which caused poor land sales, Edgewood shifted strategies in both suburbs. Ultimately, the Washington Avenue Addition became a multi-class suburb. Lincoln Park was developed as a working-class suburb. / Department of Architecture
