Written based on the description qualitative research using the library research designed to survey the written materials from some related references, this article discusses the stages where Americans have undergone to find their own cultural identities mirrored in the development of architectural design styles. The material written in this text can be exploited as the content of a different method in teaching English-speaking countries‘ culture, like America to the English learners. The description of the integrated elements of architecture, technology, and art to unfold American culture through its history of building styles can increase their awareness and appreciation of the culture from the countries of target language, associating it with their own cultural heritage and becoming more confident in acquiring the language they intend to master. The writer recognizes that the writing needs continuous reviews. Hence, critiques from the readers of this article are always warmly welcomed.

Background The art of American architecture always develops based on the pragmatism tradition combined with the spirit of tolerating new things and pluralism together with the passion to produce uniquely creative designs. The history began when the first colonists were arriving in North America. The early settlers coming from the well-educated middle class ranks in England were always thirsty of the memories of their traditional architecture; nonetheless, they also found that they should be pragmatic and efficient due to the capital and skilled labors shortage as well as the problem of the wilderness they ought to face on frontiers. To illustrate, the early pilgrims recognized as the Puritan people in Guilford, Connecticut, built a three-feet thick stone wall house for their priest in 1639. Another example was ―the Old Ship Meeting House‖ constructed by the Separatist in 1681. Despite its English traditional designs imitation, it was adapted to meet their needs of a church, a hall, and a shelter. Almost all of the buildings were simply furnished and utilized, reflecting the Puritans‘ strong awareness of the urgency to design their places in the new world as practically and efficiently as possible. That was why not only should their houses be comfortably living home, but it had also to serve them as a fortress against Indians attack and animals threat. Meanwhile, immigrants in South were people who had turned from the rags in their countries of origins to the rich and honored men encouraging them to build the dreaming houses they once not be able to afford in their old land. Once they felt they had been prosperous enough, they had concentrated on constructing castles designed as identical as the residence of the monarch in homeland. For example, the ―Bacon Castle‖ established similarly to the English castle style around 1655 can be regarded as the representation of Page 4 of 49 South style buildings. It is a brick castle built by putting the snail‘s shell roof an imitation of ―Flemishan style‖ on it. This style will remind every person seeing it of the decoration inside the Montacute House built 70 years earlier in Somerset, England. As the end of the 17th century approached, the Northern people had the tendency to emulate ―the new classical English style‖ very popular in England at the time. The new styled buildings were constructed by emphasizing comfort, convenience, and privacy for people living in it. The houses were painted white or yellow or red. They were built with separate rooms for sleeping, cooking, dining, and so on. Fireplaces in living quarters became smaller and more efficient, for they were only used for heating. To the Northern people, ―the new classical English style‖ was adapted to their surroundings and climate as well as puritan influence resulting in less ornamentation and smaller scale. Though the society had gradually turned from pure pragmatic and functional-minded people to those illuminated by sophisticated things of the era, they continued to be efficient and pragmatic since they had still faced source shortages like the lack of skilled craftsmen. For the reason, they constructed simple and multifunctional houses to fit themselves to the condition they had to face, yet in expressing their sentiments they still made some efforts to preserve the original structures of buildings in the homeland. In matter of building material use, for instance, they continued to use old parts considered useful of their buildings. For instance, an owner of a 17th century-exquisitely- decorated edifice in the suburban of Boston, Massachusetts, preferred renovating upstairs and outer part of the building to destroying the whole structures in order to replicate the new style. The concept which emphasizes efficiency and pragmatism despite the passion of realizing ideal models becomes the root of the art of American architecture. Page 5 of 49 This descriptive-qualitative writing based on library research depicts how some of American ideal values has influenced in developing the art of American architecture manifested by Americans‘ attitudes to always tend to bring the passion of ideal architecture styles into reality, yet at the same time emphasize pragmatism through making the building structure serve their daily needs. I.2. THE PURPOSE OF WRITING This article was written to reveal out if there was a connection between American values as well as traditions and the evolution of the country's building and home style designs. The scientific writing contains the American‘s process of values and tradition establishment reflected through the transformation of American architecture from the times the early settlers landed their foot on the new land to the nation-wide green movement striving for more environmentally conscious structures which has spawned the era of pluralism-friendly sustainable architecture. Finally, it aims to dilate people‘s mind to have a better vision of the presence of multiethnic culture which is lasting influence on the American life style. I.3. THE FOCUS OF WRITING The writing focuses on examining if the American cultural values have been proven to have directed the development of American‘s building styles. It also concentrates on elaborating the American‘s cultural values or virtues and tradition that has contributed to the development of American domestic architecture by surveying the detailed historical recorded on the timeline of American‘s art of architecture in numerous literary works. Page 6 of 49 I.4. APPROACH The article is a descriptive-qualitative writing based on library research design. The research conducted is by a survey type. The data collected was from the written materials giving findings on how several American ideal values and traditions have influenced in the development of American architectural styles. The data taken was also from the sources which helped the writer to examine whether the Americans‘ attitudes and virtues always tended to bring the passion of ideal architecture styles into reality, yet at the same time emphasized pragmatism through making the building structure serving their daily needs.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE STYLES The architecture of American buildings began during the 17th century, when their forefathers came to North America. The settlers brought with them varied building techniques from their homeland. Being creative and adapting to the climate, skills and available building materials, they set out building-quality construction which varied among the different settlements.

  • Brief History of Architecture in N.C. Courthouses
    MONUMENTS TO DEMOCRACY Architecture Styles in North Carolina Courthouses By Ava Barlow The judicial system, as one of three branches of government, is one of the main foundations of democracy. North Carolina’s earliest courthouses, none of which survived, were simple, small, frame or log structures. Ancillary buildings, such as a jail, clerk’s offi ce, and sheriff’s offi ce were built around them. As our nation developed, however, leaders gave careful consideration to the structures that would house important institutions – how they were to be designed and built, what symbols were to be used, and what building materials were to be used. Over time, fashion and design trends have changed, but ideals have remained. To refl ect those ideals, certain styles, symbols, and motifs have appeared and reappeared in the architecture of our government buildings, especially courthouses. This article attempts to explain the history behind the making of these landmarks in communities around the state.

  • A Short History of Georgian Architecture
    A SHORT HISTORY OF GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE Georgia is situated on the isthmus between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. In the north it is bounded by the Main Caucasian Range, forming the frontier with Russia, Azerbaijan to the east and in the south by Armenia and Turkey. Geographically Georgia is the meeting place of the European and Asian continents and is located at the crossroads of western and eastern cultures. In classical sources eastern Georgia is called Iberia or Caucasian Iberia, while western Georgia was known to Greeks and Romans as Colchis. Georgia has an elongated form from east to west. Approximately in the centre in the Great Caucasian range extends downwards to the south Surami range, bisecting the country into western and eastern parts. Although this range is not high, it produces different climates on its western and eastern sides. In the western part the climate is milder and on the sea coast sub-tropical with frequent rains, while the eastern part is typically dry. Figure 1 Map of Georgia Georgian vernacular architecture The different climates in western and eastern Georgia, together with distinct local building materials and various cultural differences creates a diverse range of vernacular architectural styles. In western Georgia, because the climate is mild and the region has abundance of timber, vernacular architecture is characterised by timber buildings. Surrounding the timber houses are lawns and decorative trees, which rarely found in the rest of the country. The population and hamlets scattered in the landscape. In eastern Georgia, vernacular architecture is typified by Darbazi, a type of masonry building partially cut into ground and roofed by timber or stone (rarely) constructions known as Darbazi, from which the type derives its name.

  • Colonial Revival Architecture
    FYS 100 HE: Landmarks and Legends: Learning Local History Shannon Clarke Professor Benowitz 1 December 2017 Colonial Revival Architecture Most Colonial Revival style houses have a rectangular shape and are normally one to two stories tall.1 They tend to have a medium pitch side-gable roof with narrow eaves, but in some cases a hipped roof and dormers are present.2 The buildings are symmetrical with a large door in the center of the house and have multi-pane windows, which are double hung.3 The centered door is accented with columns, pilasters, pediment, and/or maybe hooded to create a covered porch.4 The door may also have a fanlight, sidelight, or maybe paneled.5 Brick or wood is most commonly used as siding and some other design elements include two-story pilasters, a portico or dentil trim under the eaves.6 The Colonial Revival style is one of the most classic building styles. It is stately and distinguished, which show the owners are people with solid center and traditional values.7 The common Colonial Revival style building is symmetric and each side is a mirror image of the other. Typically decorative elements are restrained and drawn from Greek and Roman architecture.8 In the 1890s, when the Colonial Revival period of architecture was started, it could be found everywhere. One of the big influences that helped the style spread was the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, which influenced architects everywhere to have an appreciation for classical architecture when they left.9 The Georgian style of the Colonial Revival period was one version of the design.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIAnON 3 THE ARCHITECTURE OF OIL: THE COLONIAL REVIVAL IN BEAUMONT, TEXAS, 1902-1914 by Timothy M. Matthewson In 1901 the Lucas gusher blew in at Beaumont, Texas. It was the first oil well in the state that was followed by a long series of oil field developments. The event has been heralded as inaugurating a new era in the town, state, and nation. It made Beaumont into an oil boom town, set off a rush for oil in the region, and with strikes elsewhere, provided the nation with a cheap and abundant source of energy that lasted for decades. For Beaumont, it meant an infusion of money and the descent of a large transient population onto the town. It transformed Beaumont from a 9,000 population market for cattle, timber, and rice into a hub of the American petroleum industry and precipitated a building boom that lasted until World War 1.
