ArchitectureWeek Description
In Building Suburbia Hayden elaborates on the development of communities like: Levittown, a community of standardized homes in Long Island; the Walt Disney Company's Town of Celebration, an exclusive suburb that blurs the line between fantasy and reality in Orlando; and Seaside, Florida, an area designed for "extended porch-sitting, leisurely strolling and sharing time with those you c are most about." She also describes the possibility of the future with MIT's "House_n," the prototype of an interactive digital home. Most of all she emphasizes the benefit of preserving and rejuvinating existing neighborhoods.
