Buildings

The airport, skyscrapers, and house talked about in the lecture all have design aspects that represent the ideas of American culture and how American society was forming. The airport  designed represented the idea of mobility, always wanting to be on the go and always wanting to explore new places. The most important design feature that represents this idea in the airports is how most airports have windows everywhere so you can see the planes coming and going. Skyscrapers, which are mostly corporation buildings were getting taller and taller as years went on and I think this race for the tallest skyscraper shows the idea to "be better" as well because there was constantly a race to try to make them taller and better. The houses like the bungalow which had very spacious porches represent the friendly aspect of American`s and the overhang garages that show off the cars of the Ranch style houses express the mobility of American society.
