	African American Registry: Black architecture still standing, the Shotgun House
		Architectural historians have often chosen either to ignore the question of the shotgun's origin, or to label it an appearance of Greek revival style adopted from the urban storefront or shop into a dwelling.
		The Haitian shotgun form was a blend of West African architectural styles with West Indian indigenous architectural styles and is believed to have originated in the 1700s.
		Most fascinating of all, the name of the house type, "shotgun," may be an altered form of "togun," the African Yoruba word for "house." The shotgun house was typically used as low-cost housing for the low-income workers of the South.

	About Emerson Baker
		Having its origins in prehistoric times, the earthfast architectural practices employed in the Americas in the seventeenth century were directly descended from English peasant homes of the High Middle Ages.
		In the early seventeenth century an earthfast tradition still lingered in some parts of England; however, it was clearly considered an inferior form of construction that had largely given way to framed structures that sat on stone pads or foundations (Dyer 1986).
		If semi-subterranean houses can be found in the architectural record of both the Chesapeake and Maine, perhaps it is not surprising to find other forms of earthfast buildings in both regions.

	The Genius of Place: Landscape Architecture
		While gardens and gardening have been a part of human society throughout history, it is particularly during the 1700s that they become an active buffer between society and the private space of the individual.
		Downing and others began arguing that every home should be surrounded by a "green carpet setting" that would properly accent the landscape ornamentation, but they had no idea that the American turf grass savanna would come to cover 25 million acres or 40,000 square miles of the continent--an area slightly less than that of Pennsylvania.
		Landscape architecture's quest is to pursue this nebulous ideal; yet it is a lesson that might also instruct each human living in the 1990s.

		Focusing especially on the neo-classical style, this lecture will consider the architecture of Thomas Jefferson, the portraiture of John Singleton Copley and Gilbert Stuart, and the sculpture of Horatio Greenough and Jean-Antoine Houdon, all of which contributed to the values and character of the new American republic.
		Responding to conditions of modernist architecture that they found problematic, many architects after the 1950’s posited different solutions to a socio-political environment they perceived as more complex and contradictory than their modernist predecessors.
