PRESIDING CIIAIRMAN
Walter A. Taylor
Director,

American Institute of Architects
Building Type Analysis
MR. SILLING: In an earlier year, the next presiding officer was a mis-
sionary in China. He has practiced architecture in New York' in the
Grand Central Station a noisy place for such an endeavor.
Mr. Walter A. Taylor is tile Director of the Department of Education
and Research of the American Institute of Architects. He is also a
representative of the ATA to the Building Research Institute and is
a November of the Executive Co~n~nittee of the Builcling Research AcI-
visory Board.
Mr. Taylor began his career as a resident architect and engineer in
the Central China University in Wuchang, was an architectural engi-
neer with the Los Angeles Board of Education, practiced in partner-
ship in New York City, and has been a lecturer and professor of archi-
tecture at Syracuse and Columbia universities.
He has a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering from Ohio State, ~
Bachelor of Architecture frown Colun~bia, and a Master of Architecture
from Ohio State. Besides his n~e~nbership in the American Institute
of Architects, he is a member of the American Society of Engineering
Eclucation, the American Association of University Professors, and the
Society of Architectural Historians.

Resi~ientio! Design
MR. TVALTER A. TAYLOR: It seems to note
that we might have had another title for this
Fifth Session. It might be called Masonry in
Contemporary Design. ~ don't think any one
of these architects on the pane, would like to
be caZI:ed traditional. ~ know they are doing
some very interesting work.
~ hope you notice that the speakers are listed
in aZphabetical order, so there is no implied
preference as to buiZ4ing type or architect.
Our first speaker is S. Robert Anshen, who is
a vice-president and partner in the firm of
AM very crappy to talk about n~asonr,v in
connection with houses, because T think we

have used far too little of it. ~ don't think
that any discussion of houses is complete

built. You have all Learc! of solar houses and
various different kinds of houses. You no cloubt
know about a certain magazine which has
gotten very fancy climatologists and weather
experts and what-not to tell us that we should
not put houses where the wind is going to
127
OCR for page 128
disturb them or where flash floods are going
to hurt them. And there is a very costly pro-
gram of selling the American public on the
fact that the sun rises in the east and sets in
the west.
~ was glad to hear Air. Ayes mention the
east anc! west sides of vertical buildings, be-
cause it has always been a mystery to nice why
most skyscrapers built have the same facades
on the north, south, east and west.
Back to what Xenophon saicl about what
Socrates saic! about how a house should be
built. Socrates, resorting to his usual question
ancT answer methocT, asked, `'Should a house
be a pleasant place to live in and a safe
place to store one's belongings?" Ashen this
question, too, evoked no disagreement, he saicT,
"Well then, should a house be coo] in the
sundrier and warns in the winter?" When this
question, too, evoked no disagreement, he saicT,
"Well then, if you buiTc] the north side low
and the porticos Ligh and facing south, the
builcling will be protected frown the coIcT in
the winter and, in the sunnier when the
sun is high, it will cast shade and it will be
cool, but in the winter when the sun is low,
warns. If, then, these are clesirable character-
istics, this is the way to builc! your house."
Today there is probably no more co~npli-
cated building, for its size, and for its rela-
tively singe use, than a ([welling. We may
forget that our early houses take a New Eng-
land farmhouse, for exa~np~ie had simply four
rooms with a chimney in the center contain-
ing three or four fireplaces so grouped as to
face into the four rooms. One of the fire-
places was the kitchen stove.
Ladies and gentIen~en, there was no inside
water, no kitchen sink, no insulation, no wash-
ing machine, no dryer, no refrigerator, no dis-
posal, no dishwasher, no ironer, no air cooling,
no interior plunking, no vacuum cleaner, and
no light, except for a candle or oil lamp. To-
day, if we built only as much into our houses
as our forefathers did into theirs, they would
128
cost approxin~ately 2/ percent of what our
houses now cost and shelter would be one of
our cheapest commodities in relation to food,
clothing, etc.
However, the cliFerence in houses of today
and those early ones represents one of the
great symbols of the civilized advance of our
tinge. It cannot be stated too basically or
clearly that mass production, and thus the mass
use of delicate and fine products to lighten the
labor of n~ankind (to say nothing of woman-
kind), is the halIn~ark of our advancing civili-
zation.
The difference between the early house and
the house of today means the difference be-
tween a sTaver,v-in-drudgery, anct emancipation
to a life of ease and leisure.
Leisure through all time has been the basic
requirement for the flowering of culture in any
civilization. You cannot address your mind to
the stars, to inventions, to poetry, to the n~ys-
teries of the universe, if all your time is occu-
pie(1 in getting your food and cleaning your
nest.
Thus the concept of the Louse is simple, as
expressed in colonial tinges, but has indeed
become now the repository of some of that
vast body of applied science and myriad intri-
cate skills and invention, which lead to a
successful realization of advance toward lei-
sure, ant! thus a higher culture.
Continuity of history conjoined with vig-
orous advances in tile developn~ent of new
materials, the better use of oIc] materials, the
imaginative, bold advances in techniques, was
only begun.
Our best products, man treacle? cone from
the research integration, variation and mass
production of n~aterial things.
How does this affect the use of masonry?
To begin with, modern power tools and tech-
niques of handling age-old n~aterials have
changed our use of these materials. Not so
very long ago even kings could not afford such
luxurious selections of materials as can we
OCR for page 129
today. Now heavy n~aterials can be hauled
thousands of miles by ship and rail at a frac-
tion of the cost of hauling then a few miles
a short tinge ago.
Which materials are at hand with which
to build depends upon how far we can reach,
not only in space but also in tine. Advancing
civilization negates available new uses of exist-
ing materials and existing materials in new
uses.
As we progress, we are wise if we make full
use of new ways of using oIct materials and
oIc3 ways of using new n~aterials. For example,
fireplaces have been superceded by more effi-
cient n~ethods of heating, but everyone should
have one, of masonry, and everyone wants one
of masonry because of the simple clelight of
looking at tee fire burning on the hearth.
Nonfat atavistic Opuses may activate us in
observing the fire burning on the hearth ~ do
not know, but ~ clo know that it is an impor-
tant part of life-a part not to be missed. It
may be that the flickering light has the varia-
tions of nature, pleasing and soothing to the
eye, as opposed to the monotony of artificial
light.
In houses, as elsewhere in architecture, n~a-
sonrv is used because in certain areas it is the
only material available which concubines the
requisite properties of strength, durability, in-
sulation, weatherproofing and a rich texture
or finish. Man-fabricated n~aterials, which
compress the strength and insulation of a two-
foot thick stone wall into a few inches and
which come in large sheets, easy to erect, can-
not be used as yet in certain areas because
they have not been developed in finishes
which give the proper life anc] clepth of tex-
ture.
We must reverence the fabulous genius
of mankind in the introduction of steel, aTu-
minu~n, etc., which are made uncler heat and
pressure, nauch as the n~inerals and oils, which
were created in geologic tinge, were made by
nature under the heat and pressure of cata
clysn~ic changes in the earth. Plywood, plas-
tics, glass these materials do not exist in
nature. They are wonderfully created by man-
kind for his greater convenience and in order
to make his architecture greater. The advances
which n~ankinc3 makes in altering natural ma-
terials to alter his environment to suit him-
self have only begun. But it is not only new
materials, but the snore effective use of old
materials which stirs the imagination.
Stone is as old as the hills. Masonry is the
n~aterial which mankind instinctively thinks
of when he considers historical works of art
in architecture. Psychologically, masonry in
a building conveys a sense of permanence, of
its having been "alive" when our forebears
were living and of its survival, through the
vicissitudes of generations to cone. Countries
where proper pine forests grow United States'
iNorway, Sweden, Finland, etc. are "lucky.'
They never existed in Spain or Italy.
It is evident that "newer" countries, where
there are ante supplies of suitable wood
available, use a great deal of it, particularly in
the construction of houses. Older countries
have snore traditionally used masonry. This
is a matter of expediency, cost and getting
something built fast. The American frontier
from east to west could never have been
conquered with such incredible speed if it had
not been for the "ten~porar,v" use of wood for
construction. The fact that wood is relatively
non-fire resistant, subject to the attack of in-
sects and vermin, highly costly to maintain,
is lost in the exigency of the Tower initial cost.
It is to be observed that n~ankinc] generally
takes better care of its goods and n~aterial pos-
sessions than it does of its human resources.
Thus factories and warehouses, counting
houses, temples and churches have been con-
structed of n~asonr,v while dwellings have been
made of lesser materials. If there is a fire,
theoretically, Duncan beings can nerve away
129
OCR for page 130
front it, but goods and possessions nicest be
protected by strong wails and heavy doors.
Houses are the last buiTclings in our age to
receive the benefits of the best building tech-
niques. Good planning, good plumbing, good
lleating, ventilating, ligllting, design cone last
to houses in our civilization. This is also true
in ancient civilizations.
An industrial or co~n~ercial owner will ex-
pend untold energies and treasure learning
how best to construct buiTclings for his plant
and equipment. He will experiment ant! ob-
jectivel`; weigh the pros and cons of new ancI
Olin rnethocds, materials and techniques. His
mind anct his architects' minds are free to
weigh the catastrophic results of calamity
versus first cost.
This is not so of tee Louse-buiTding owner.
He is first concerned with an amazing array
of intangible concepts which go creep into his
early life and notate hint view his dwelling
in a confused haze of history, custom, fancily
background, keeping up with the Joneses or
conformity to the current usage in the particu-
lar economic class he happens to be in or
wants to get into. If be has a half a ~niTTion
dollars to spend for his dwelling, he wants a
nonillion dollars worth of dwelling. If he has
SI0,000 to spend, he wants $25,000 wortl1 of
dwelling.
In costly custom built houses, the architect
frequently can employ the use of fire-resistant
materials, of which n~asonr,v is, of course,
presently the most satisfying. However, as
we go clown the economic scale into 50, 25, ~ 5,
~ 2 thousand dollar dwellings, masonry be-
co~nes harder and harder to use. We wind up
in a $17,000 house with a $770 fireplace, prob-
ably made of brick. This is true of the entire
country, except in some eastern and ~id-
western metropolitan areas.
Since the vast majority of houses built since
the war have cost frown $15,000 clown, this
poses quite a problem and the fault must be
130
principally laid at the door of our national
concept, of cheap temporariness. This, ~ think,
scenes front the early pioneering necessities of
getting things built as cheaply and as quickly
as possible and is terribly, ostentatiously-
wl~ile principally subconsciously reflected in
our national regulations regarding how houses
may be built.
Low cost and speed were necessary in the
pioneering clays. Today tl~ev are causing fan-
tastic waste of opportunity, treasure and na-
tural resources.
The F.H.A. and the V.A. insure mortgages
on most of the houses built today. Their
power to control design, materials and n~etl~-
ocis of construction are, from a practical point
of view, almost limitless. As insurance com-
panies, Clay leave stockholders, in this case the
American public, anc! they are even more
cautious and bent to current tradition than
private insurance companies, if possible. The
architect, the builder, has to conform to their
ideas of what a dwelling should cost. Their
tables and statistical data are all based on the
way we have been building. prinicipallv in
wood.
:[f the architect has a project for, say, one
thousand $15-70,000 houses he is forced to
employ wood principal!;, or the buyer for
such louses cannot adorcl to but then. The
agencies will not say not to build of masonry'
but they will appraise principally: as though
wood were to be used because their basic data
for appraisal are the size of the dwelling and
the number of loony, rather than the quality.
Thus we are rapidly building these vast poten-
tial suburban slums which without the neces-
sary maintenance which they are not going to
get are now creating the necessity, for vast
surburban redevelopment con~nissions.
To rearrange properly the mess we are now
creating will cost our children billions of dol-
lars.
If someone or some group could affect these
OCR for page 131
insurance agencies sufficiently to allow their
appraisals to reflect the cost of fire resistant
dwellings, great strides could be made. But
when ~ say; this, the decision as to the neces-
sity for fire resistance must be sufficient to put
an advantage in the hands of a citizen who
builds such dwellings.
Let me go into some figures here.
In a typical house which now sells for $16.-
700, here is the rough breakdown:
Construction Cost ..........
Land and Improvements ....
Miscellaneous fees, construction
money, overhead, etc.
Profit .. .. .
in. .
~ 1nanclng ........
· $ 9500.
... 3000.
Thus the actual dwelling the end product
-costs about '87G of the total cost. If its cost
were raisecI 20: or $1900 in orcler to make
use of ~nasonr,n, construction, the end pack-
age wouic3 cost $~S,100 or a little over T I GO
more than it does now.
Compare this with a necessary budget in-
crease of 51500 for money alone clue to the
rise in interest rates in the last two years. No
one asks whether it is appropriate to increase
the cost of a house $1500, or approximate
10°/0 to pay the banker, but if you try to
increase the quality; by the expenditure of a
similar sum for masonry you are absolutely;
sty~niecI. The reason T speak of money in adcTi-
tion to appearance and psychological and aes-
thetic gratifications is that, all rumors to the
contrary notwithstanding, handsome, satisfy-
ing buildings cost more than others. Architects
have done and are cloing wonders with the
materials and budgets at hand, but in city
planning and achitecture it is idle to separate
costs from results.
Now, there has been a great deal of talk
about '`temporary" buildings and how our
modern age changes so rapidly that permanent
structures should not be built. It is said that
each American family changes its abode every
seven years, obsolesence take place rapidity,
etc.
There is an unfortunate tendency in the
United States to relate houses to automobiles
in the public, and even in songs professional
minds. An automobile is a temporary contrap-
tion and the reason for this is that it moves
from place to place. A house does not and
shouIc] not move. It is related to a garden
which takes years to grow to a satisfactory
state of maturity. The only thing about a
house which is temporary is its mechanical and
electrical equipment which can be renewed
through the years if the shell is considered as
........ ~ _IJ\J.
.......... 1000.
. . 1500. a permanent, abiding structure.
..... ....$16,200. Even though Americans may move every
seven years, they do not build new dwellings
when they move. How attractive would our
legacy to our progeny be if we hancled down
to them beautifully arranged fire-resistant
dwellings with the patina of time on the walls
and roofs and surrounded by old, well kept
gardens.
One of the prinicipal ingredients of beauti
ful architecture is contrast. While architects
are thrilled by the new developments in glass,
steel, plastics and aluminum because of their
light weight, their beauty and the real acI
vances in (resign which they make possible,
n~asonr,v, nevertheless, is the only material in
existence that notates possible the proper con
trast, balance with the newer materials. :~la
sonr,v is the textured tie with the past and the
future which itself becomes more beautiful
used in juxtaposition to the newer materials,
and makes the newer materials more beautiful
by its presence with them in architecture. A
building which combines the use of masonry
with light metals and glass is more beautiful
than just a masonry building or just a metal
and glass building.
Above ~ have been speaking of solid ma
sonr,v walls. The whole area of veneers has
131
OCR for page 132
not been touched upon, and this is a subject
of great importance to masonry. Masonry
veneer is a beautiful and wonderful thing as
long as it is properly usecl. Architects know
that the proper way to use masonry veneers is
to express the fact that it is a veneer. It is
incorrect to use masonry veneer in imitation of
solid masonry. This is the same principle
which makes it incorrect to use plastic in imi-
tation of tile, synthetic paper products in
incitation of brick, etc.
This produces a dilemma, particularly in
houses. Many houses are macle of wood with
masonry veneers and their builders point with
pride to the fact that they look just like ma-
sonry and you don't have to paint the outside.
This kinc! of fake is particularly bad and we
have a firm rule in the office that n~asonr,v
may never be veneered onto wood frame con-
struction. The practical reason for this is that
a thin veneer of masonry on wood is unsafe in
earthquake and is fire-resistant from the out-
sicle only. More fires originate in the insides of
c~wellings. The fake and sham of veneer on
wood is to be avoided.
Masonry veneer on masonry structural n~a-
terials, however, is a beautiful thing as long
as it expresses itself as veneer.
Mr. Henry H. Saylor states in his Dictionary
of Architecture that masonry is "that branch
of construction cleating with plastering, con-
crete construction, and the laying up of stone,
brick, tile, and other such units with mortar."
Too little use is negate in houses of the art
and artistry which can be obtained by the use
of ceramic veneers, tile and n~arblle. The inte-
gration of other arts with architecture is sadly
lacking in our tinge. The color and texture
which can be added to a building by way of
designs with the use of these materials is in-
finite anc] too little explored, particularly in
houses.
Even wealthy people hesitate, for some
strange psychological reason, to spend vast
132
sums of money on a dwelling. It somehow
seems wrong with our puritanical background
to overly embellish the spaces in which one
spends one's life. People will travel ant] spend
vast sums in order to see the wonders of the
world but they don't want to spend an extra
$50,000 or $!00,000 for integral color ancI
integral decoration which would be possible
by using the great artists of our time to ac-
complish this. Marble is one of the most
beautiful materials in existence ant] it is rarely
used in houses, principally because it might
give the idea of ostentation to one's neighbors.
When one is rich, it is just as ostentatious to
pretenc] that one is poor, as it is ostentatious for
one who is poor to pretend to be rich.
We believe that one place in houses where
masonry will be user! to a greater extent in the
future than at present is in the kitchen. De-
signwise, the American dwelling is becoming
more simplified and direct. Most dwellings
are still built in incitation of the days when
everyone had servants who lived in. This
mystic hangover front the past is still present
in the basic plan of the so-called central hall
plan. This generally means a postage sunup
size house with a tiny hall, a tiny living room'
a tiny dining room, a tiny kitchen and a tiny
den.
The impact of easy, servantless' inforn~al
living in moderate climatic conditions is ~nak-
ing itself felt throughout the country now.
More and more people are willing to allow
the facts of servantless life to make an impact
upon the plan of the house itself.
We are now building houses which have a
great living-kitchen-recreation-television room
as the core of the house. In this room there
is a fireplace, barbecue masonry of course-
kitchen equipment, television, sofa, chairs for
reclining, as well as dining. Then there is a
small, quiet room, also preferably with a fire-
place and witl1 a door that shuts out the noise
OCR for page 133
of the big room Then bedrooms and baths to
taste.
More and noose we are developing dwellings
which form a pleasant background for the
living of the individuals in them. The individ-
ual must have individuality, the person per-
sonality, not the house or room, except insofar
as it, with gentleness and strength, forms a
simple background for the activities of the
inclividual and family.
An objective view of the development in
houses in this country leads to a recognition
of the value of the technological advances in
equipment of houses set forth above. That
same objectivity leads us to recognize the
appallingly poor design which characterizes
most dwellings built since the war. (This is
also true of most of those built before the
war.)
There is a strange clichoton~y between the
great anc! careful attention paid to the equip-
~nent in American houses anc! the general dis-
dainfuT ineptituc:le of the design of their struc-
tures.
This extremely poor design is characterized
by the most elen~entary kind of mistake. Dis-
regarding the generally poor proportions of the
buildings one facade will have three or four
different sizes of windows and Coors head
ant] sill heights will be different. This is the
result of a myopic view on the part of the
builder who is generally user] to looking at
only one thing at a tinge. More than 9070 of
the builclers do not use architects at all.
Another objective view shows us that site
planning results front a concatenation of all
sorts of obsolete rules and regulations, few of
which were designed to affect such a situa-
tion as has obtained since the war.
Prior to World War TI, the majority of
houses were built on land which was "de-
velopecI" by a subdivider. He then sold these
"lots" either to a builder or owner who built
houses on then. Thus the rules and regula-
tions were made to make a nominal size of
"lot," no one knowing what kind or size of
house would be put on them at a later date.
Since the war the buiTcier and subdivider in
most parts of the country were one ant! the
same person. Thus for the first tinge in history
it is possible to design the subdivision knowing
exactly what size of house will go on which
particular piece of property. It is possible to
vary the volume and size ant! price of houses
which are adjacent to each other, thus over-
con~ing the awful monotony, the fantastically
awful monotony of most of the subdivisions
built since the war. That this has not been
done has been a great failure on the part of
builders and architects. Our subdivisions do
not make any provision for the grandmother
and grandfather who wish to live in a small
house not too far away from their children
and grandchildren.
We are particularly blessed in America with
the vast quantities of beautiful materials readi-
Ty at han(l to be used. We have architects an(l
builders of great skill. If we could realize, as
a nation, that we have these vast resources and
that we ought to use then, money to the con-
trary notwithstanding, in order to create, wher-
ever we build, a Shangri-La of beauty, charm
ant] satisfaction, we could do it. it needs but
the will for its accomplishment. We have
everything else.

clustry to capture the public imagination
ancT cTeliver to it a real aciclecT value in design
ancT lower cost lies in an inclustry-wicle aclop-
tion of the system of nodular measure. In no
~ J
view, once it is acloptecT ancl its many acI-
vantages properly acivertisecI, our competitive
reach for the investors' ancT the consumers'
cTollar will be comparably in~provecT. It is not
something that is uniquely proposed to be
projected better or not you are willing. It is
a world-wicie search. You ren~en~ber that
Ralph Walker toIcT you of the stucTies the
British were snaking. Bill Den~arest, who
heaclec] this up for the ALA, has appearec! by
invitation in France to discuss this ~nethocI
156
team to this country, ancT one of their prime
interests was a rather exhaustive stucly of
nodular measure.
At this meeting, T have been invited to meet
at a later time with architects and buiTcling
people in a Canadian national convention.
So that it is not just something that is
picket] out of the air, but it has a history anc]
a success where it has been usecT, in the very
single manner in which it has been set up.
~ believe adequate shelter is the business of
everybody. When a n~asonr,~ unit of any n~a-
terial, color, texture or size is ~nanufacturecI,
quarried, processed, sold, or incorporated in
any; planner in or about a building, every
human component that cones in contact
with it at any stage of that clevelopn~ent
exerts his influence for goocT or evil on the
aesthetic ancT economic effect of contemporary
architecture. We plan ancT clesign together-
~nanufacturer, supplier, contractor, architect,
owner. Let us search ourselves that each one
of us may aic] in an improving culture for
all of our people.
