    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture NISEI ARCHITECTS: CHALLENGES AND ACHIEVEMENTS A Thesis in Architecture by Katrin Freude © 2017 Katrin Freude Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Architecture May 2017 The Thesis of Katrin Freude was reviewed and approved* by the following: Alexandra Staub Associate Professor of Architecture Thesis Advisor Denise Costanzo Associate Professor of Architecture Thesis Co-Advisor Katsuhiko Muramoto Associate Professor of Architecture Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History Ute Poerschke Associate Professor of Architecture Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract Japanese-Americans and their culture have been perceived very ambivalently in the United States in the middle of the twentieth century; while they mostly faced discrimination for their ethnicity by the white majority in the United States, there has also been a consistent group of admirers of the Japanese art and architecture. Nisei (Japanese-Americans of the second generation) architects inherited the racial stigma of the Japanese minority but increasingly benefited from the new aesthetic light that was cast, in both pre- and post-war years, on Japanese art and architecture. This thesis aims to clarify how Nisei architects dealt with this ambivalence and how it was mirrored in their professional lives and their built designs. How did architects, operating in the United States, perceive Japanese architecture? How did these perceptions affect their designs? I aim to clarify these influences through case studies that will include such general issues as (1) Japanese-Americans’ general cultural evolution, (2) architects operating in the United States and their relation to Japanese architecture, and (3) biographies of three Nisei architects: George Nakashima, Minoru Yamasaki, and George Matsumoto.

Since the turn of the 20th Century, this street has attracted numerous prominent southern Californians. This street is named after Robert Gillis’ daughter, Adelaide. Robert Gillis was the owner of the Santa Monica Land and Water Co. and bought thousands of acres in the Palisades in the 1880s. In 1923, Gillis sold 22,000 acres to Alphonso Bell, who developed Bel Air, and went on to develop the Pacific Palisades. 6. Worrell “Zuni House,” 1923-24 710 Adelaide Pl. Architect Robert Stacey-Judd is best known for his Mayan-themed architecture, as is evident in the Pueblo Revival style home, the only known example of his work in Santa Monica. The design of the house embodies many of the character-defining features of the Pueblo Revival style, including an asymmetrical facade, block composition, and flat roofs with parapets highlighted by red tile coping. Noteworthy are projecting roof beams (a.k.a. vigas) typical of the Zuni tribe of Arizona Indians. The rounded corners of the terraced walls, simulate adobe. A stepped Mayan motif is repeated in the door and window frames. It’s said that the work of this architect "is always a surprise.” 7.

  • Ranch Houses in Georgia Come in a Wide Variety – As Seen Here in These Pictures of Ranch Houses in Just One Small Community
    1 Ranch Houses in Georgia: A Guide to House Types (Sub-Types) May 2010 Richard Cloues, Ph.D. 2 Ranch Houses in Georgia come in a wide variety – as seen here in these pictures of Ranch Houses in just one small community. 3 Their diversity is extreme -- more so, perhaps, than any other kind of historic house -- and sometimes perplexing. 4 And yet there are recurring patterns of underlying forms as well as outward appearances. 5 The outward appearances are indicative of different architectural styles. 6 The underlying forms of Ranch Houses reveal something quite different: variations on the basic Ranch House type that might be considered sub-types. 7 This presentation is about house types -- more precisely, Ranch House sub-types. (A complementary presentation on our website discusses the various architectural styles of Ranch Houses in Georgia.) 8 It builds upon the historic house types first identified in our 1991 Georgia’s Living Places report. 9 In that report, house types were defined by a seemingly simple formula: House Type equals Plan (or plan-shape) plus Height (or mass-form). A house type is sometimes called a plan-form. 10 This concept of house type is based on distinctive patterns of interior spaces and exterior forms rather than stylistic conventions. 11 Sub-types were defined as variations on fundamentally similar concepts of interior plans and exterior massing. 12 House types are especially useful when dealing with houses whose forms and floor plans rather than stylistic conventions are the sole or principal character-defining features. The architectural character of these houses literally derives from their combinations of plans and forms.
