| Abstract | This thesis looks at three prolific modern architects in Southern California who worked with developers and merchant builders with an emphasis on the period 1960-1973. The architects are Edward H. Fickett, Richard L. Dorman and William Krisel. It closely examines selected projects by these architects such as Living Conditioned Homes, La Costa Resort and Spa, Grossmont Hills, Huntington Harbour, Sherman Park and Meadowlark Park. The findings challenge the conventional wisdom that tract houses are simplified versions of custom homes and demonstrates a strong linkage between tract house design and commercial architecture. The implications for architectural historians and preservationists are outlined. |
