Exploring Connections between Women's Changing Roles and House Forms

Mary Joyce Hasell

Interior Design Department, College of Architecture, at the University of Florida.

Frieda D. Peatross

During the past 40 years, demographic trends have indicated extraordinary changes in women's roles, as well as gradual increases in the size of new single-family houses. Whereas current literature suggests that the form of most built environments has not changed significantly and still reflects traditional gender ideology, a content analysis of prototypical house plans featured in a popular shelter magazine between 1945 and 1985 indicates that statistically significant changes in spatial allocation and functional emphasis are occurring. This article focuses on the spatial configuration of new single-family houses and raises the hypothesis that certain environmental changes may be supportive of shifting gender patterns.
