Date: March 14, 2019
Time: 6:30-9:00 Where: DeLuca Homes - 370 East Main Street, Langhorne, PA 19047 RSVP AIAU: Traditions of Home - 1 HSW Learn about traditional domestic symbols that have been part of home design throughout the centuries. Join Witold Rybczynski on a tour of the history and customs of Western home traditions. You'll explore practicality vs. custom, fashion vs. comfort, and how certain elements have maintained a persistent presence well into modern 21st century life. AIAU: The New Modern House - 1.5 HSW Hear different perspectives from residential architects on form and design as well as the influence in materials, systems, and construction on what it means to design a new Modern house. Le Corbusier famously said that ‘a house is a machine for living in.’ It is no surprise that as modern forms and materials have changed the face of our towns and cities, they have had a pronounced impact on the look of our houses as well. Changing lifestyles have produced a reassessment of how we live in our houses, just as concurrent advances in materials, systems, and construction methods have dramatically altered forms and design strategies. The new, innovative, and avante garde - all continue to hold significance in house design, while a new emphasis on local and global sustainability has further changed the composition of modern dwellings. |
