According to Hayden, built space expresses a society’s material priorities. Most Americans inhabit complex metropolitan landscapes layered with tracts, strip malls, office parks, and highways, but very few can decode the landscapes’ physical forms or explain their economic origins. In this lecture, Hayden will define seven characteristic suburban landscapes created between 1820 and 2000. She will address how federal subsidies for real estate development support the last three of these patterns, encouraging sprawl beginning in the 1930s.<BR><BR> Hayden is professor of architecture, urbanism, and American studies at Yale, and a fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. She is the author of six books about the cultural and political history of American built environments, her latest being <I>A Field Guide to Sprawl</I> (Norton, 2004), a “devil’s dictionary” of bad building patterns. Her other publications include <I>Building Suburbia: Green Fields and Urban Growth, 1820–2000 </I>(Pantheon, 2003), <I>The Power of Place: Urban Landscapes as Public History</I> (MIT Press, 1995), and <I>The Grand Domestic Revolution: A History of Feminist Designs for American Homes, Neighborhoods and Cities</I> (MIT Press, 1981). Hayden is also an award-winning poet whose works have been published in the <I>Yale Review</I>, <I>Kenyon Review</I>, and <I>Southwest Review</I>. Her most recent collection is <I>American Yard</I> (WordTech Communications, 2004).<BR><BR> Since 1973, Hayden has held academic appointments in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, and American studies in a teaching career that has spanned the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California at Berkeley, and University of California at Los Angeles, as well as Yale. She earned her professional degree in architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design; she was a Bunting fellow at Radcliffe in 1976–1977; and she received the Radcliffe Graduate Society Medal for outstanding contributions to her profession in 1991.<BR><BR> This is the third in the 2006-2007 Dean's Lecture Series.
