■jT/New lifestyles to mean
new homes, prof says
by Chris Thayer
Battalion Reporter
The American dream of a
three-bedroom, two-bath home
in the suburbs may be a thing of
the past, says the head of the
Department of Landscape
Architecture.
That is one of Lane Mar
shall’s predictions in his special
report, “Landscape Arcnitec-
L ture into the 21st Century.” The
report analyzes the social and
economic forces that will change
architecture in the housing in
dustry.
Today’s lifestyles — with
single-parent families and single
households dominant — de-
'^*2, ; iand a change in housing, Mar-
'" — Tpall said.
I Marshall’s report predicts 40
million new households will be
jbrmed this decade as a result of
ese new lifestyles. To meet the
eds of these new households
existing houses will be rehabili
tated, Marshall said.
Adding an apartment or mak
ing one house into two are ex
amples of rehabilitating a house.
Marshall also said zoning
laws, which will affect mostly
older parts of older cities, will
change to accommodate these
types of rehabilitation.
In addition, the size of hous
ing units will change in the next
decade, he said. The average
house size will decrease from to
day’s 1,250-square-foot home to
about 750 square feet. The
apartment-look will dominate
the landscape, Marshall said,
and more attention will be given
to enclosed exterior spaces.
The housing density in the
next ten years also will change
the appearance of subdivisions.
While today’s subdivisions have
about 3.5 houses per acre, about
10 houses will be placed on an
acre in the future.
Privacy, security and conveni
ence will become the main issues
in housing because of these
housing changes, Marshall said.
Americans also are getting
older, he said, and their housing
needs are changing. By the year
2000, 50 percent of the popula
tion will be over 55 years old.
“We have designed housing
and other products historically
for a much younger popula
tion,” Marshall said. “In the fu
ture, our whole market is going
to change.”
Economic factors also will
affect the housing industry. Be
cause of inflation and the rising
costs of raw building materials,
the cost of a conventional single
family house is too expensive for
the average family, Marshall
said.

for mailouts, flyers, parking lot

The request was tabled so the
council could obtain more infor

commitments.
Other funding has come
from Texas A&M former stu

local residents.
In other business, the council
