McMANSION REPORT


The purpose of the McMansion Report was for us as students to visit current residential
dwellings and observe the trends and design decisions made within each of the homes we
observed in the Tour of Renovated Homes and Tour of Homes.

Here are a couple of things that had to be reported upon:
[1] Materials you observe in the building implications on sustainability, ease of installation, etc.
[2] Flow throughout the building
[3] Sources of innovation
[4] Trends in design
[5] The social, cultural, and physical context for the houses.
[6] The provision for design that addresses basic needs of human life.
[7] Connections between your analysis and observations to both Bachelard and Clark.
