Hybridity in Architectural Design: Past, Present, and into the Unknown

Abstract

he aim of this paper is to verify and describe the hybridity between European modern architecture and American traditional architecture in mid-twentieth-century American college towns as expressed in residences built there by faculty members of NAAB-accredited architecture programs. Based on shape grammar as a computational design methodology, a comprehensive analysis is presented to reveal a hybridity phenomenon that though unique has broader implications for our understanding of architectural production.
