WEEK ONE, LECTURE ONE OUTCOMES
1. Describe & identify timelines for these housing architectural styles & be able to explain their characteristics.
2. Understand the various factors which influence (alter) local housing styles.
Austerity house style 1945-1954
Influenced by war. The exterior of the houses lost their sense of flair, because of rising costs and material shortages.
Windows were of standard sizes; plain brickwork and the traditional housing style had come to an end.
Brick Veneer style 1960-1980
Homes featured hipped roofs with concrete tiles, sliding timer framed windows, plain interior, timber flooring and
red, cream or white brick finishes.
Housing styles represent and why they change
- Wealth (size, complexity of design and materials)
- Environment (Materials, shade, sun, hot and cold)
- Functionality (indoor services, layout, garaging)
- Technologies (building management systems, materials)
- Demographics (Single, one parent, two parent)
- Economic styles (boomtimes)

WEEK TWO, LECTURE TWO OUTCOMES
1. describe and explain how climate change is affecting residential buildings, how residential buildings are
affecting our climate, and how this impact may be minimised.
Effect on buildings
- Extreme weather conditions threaten buildings
- Increased flooding and rain can ruin buildings
- Ieased stos ad tepeatues “
- Wind can damage building
- Building insurance and house prices will increase due to the volatile weather patterns
Sustainability in the built environment- involves promoting energy efficient buildings and minimizing their
ecological footprint.
Thermal comfort- The oditio of id hih epesses satisfatio ith the theal eioet
Passive design- ‘efes to a rigorous, voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building, reducing its ecological
footprint. It results in an ultra-lo eeg uildig that euies littlie eeg fo spae, heatig o oolig.
- Passive solar design
- Water harvesting (water tanks)
- Use of solar power
- Renewable/recyclable materials
- Future proofing
