Clayton grew up in split-levels—the emblem of postwar American housing—and traces how that “efficient” template reshaped our built world. In 1940 the U.S. had ~40 million housing units; by 2020, ~140 million. Most of that growth followed a new ethic: economy, mass production, engineered materials, and “form follows function.” Before 1940, homes were guided by craft, proportion, natural materials, and an embedded language of beauty. This episode explores what was lost in the shift, why so much recent housing feels a-stylistic, and how learning the classical language of architecture can restore character without abandoning function. If architecture is the record of our civilization, what story are today’s neighborhoods telling—convenience or beauty?
