The purpose of this study is to analyze Abraham William Hajjar's single-family houses in State College, PA, using shape grammar as a computational design methodology. Hajjar was a member of the architecture faculty at the Pennsylvania State College (now The Pennsylvania State University), a practitioner in State College and an influential figure in the history of architecture in the area. Shape grammars are used specifically to verify and describe the influences of modern architecture as defined by Hitchcock and Johnson (1932) and traditional American architecture in the area on Hajjar's domestic architecture. The underlying hypothesis is that the work of Hajjar is the result of a hybridity phenomenon that will be traced through a computational design methodology. The first step in this endeavor is to establish the single-family architectural language of Hajjar, which is briefly described in this paper. Future steps will aim at verifying and describing the hybridity between modern architecture and traditional architecture in his work by comparing Hajjar's grammar with grammars encoding modern and traditional architecture. |
