The Californian bungalow style was particularly popular in Australia from 1913 onwards. This period coincided with the rise of the Hollywood film industry, which popularised American clothes, furniture, cars and houses, and also with the increased importation of U.S. architectural magazines into Australia, a society which previously had been heavily influenced by British domestic styles.
 "...the concept of the bungalow as a cheap and attractive form of permanent suburban housing for the masses was stimulated by a variety of economic and social factors." quote from wiki
 Timber versions of the bungalow were a low cost solution to shortages in housing and the California designs suited the growing suburbs of the larger cities in southern Australia. Having a similar climate to that of California the designs also reflected the requirements of Australians who needed to cater for relatively warm summers and mild winters.

The bungalow in Australia underwent regional adaptations, often being built in the local red brick in Melbourne and the local liver-coloured brick of Sydney and in limestone in South Australia. The bungalow was also constructed out of timber – in tropical Queensland these were raised on high (2.4 m (8 ft)) stilts as the Ashgrovian Queenslander

The architectural style is also known as American Craftsman and was most widely used in Southern California, single family homes from about 1905

1. Bungalows are one or one and a half story houses

2. eaves with unenclosed rafters

3.typically feature a dormer window(or an attic vent designed to look like one) over the main portion of the house.

Ideally, bungalows are horizontal in massing, and are integrated with the earth by use of local materials and transitional plantings. This helps create the signature look typically associated with the California bungalow. Note the stone pillars in the above photo

4.Bungalows commonly have wood shingle, horizontal siding or stucco exteriors, as well as brick or stone exterior chimneys and a partial-width front porch. Larger bungalows might have asymmetrical "L" shaped porches. The porches were often enclosed at a later date, in response to increased street noise. A "California" bungalow is typically not made of brick
 
 5.True bungalows have a simple living room, entered directly from the front door, as well as a smaller kitchen. The focal point of the living room is the fireplace, and the living room often has a broad opening into a separate dining room.
 All common areas are on the first floor with cozy atmospheres. The ceilings often feature redwood beams.

4. how the style evolved from the style that preceded it eg social influences, political influences, world events
 The style evolved from the Arts and Crafts movement which developed in the British Isles and was popular from about 1880 to 1920 although it began in the 1860s,and is the root of the Modern style of architecture with the British version to later become Art Nouveau. The Californian Bungalow styling was preceded by the Gothic Revival of the late 19^th Century and as a reaction by the Americans against the eclectic Victorian architecture.

It preceded Modernism of the 1930s.
 6. identify one aspect from this era that is reflected in todays preferred architectural design styles 

The bungalow style is a sturdy structure of clean lines and natural materials. Deep overhanging eaves, wide front porch are typical features. These aspects helped the homes stay cool in the Californian climate, similar to parts of Australia. These features are now in part, prominent in sustainable building

Second Industrial Revolution late 19^th early 20^th Century is the origin of Industrial Architecture although it first appeared in the 1700s. 

The trend to turn former warehouses into artists lofts began in Manhattan in the 1960s The origin of this style was Britain

1 Combination of functionality and design 2.Lack of ornamentation on building façade 3.Exposed brick, ductwork and piping that otherwise would be smoothed over in residential construction. Distressed and worn finishes from years of heavy use 4.Large metal-grid windows 5.Use of raw rough materials such as concrete, brick, metal

Industrial Architecture in a way stands alone, it was designed to be functional, not decorative. It was designed to function and meet the needs of the every growing industrialisation of Britain and the world. Often bland, rarely were decorative designs incorporated.
 In the late 19^th Century new construction materials became available like metal and concrete over the previously used brick or stone. 

Industrial Architecture is the design and construction of buildings serving industry. And this style influenced Modern Architecture as it bought with it new materials and hence new designs or ways to design

The Industrial design on the late 19^th early 20^th century began to incorporate not only larger spaces but larger window to allow more natural light. This in turn increased productivity. I think its not this one feature but the realisation by designers about human comfort in their designs and what this means for our society

-Adaptation of classic ideas to modern form

4. how the style evolved from the style that preceded it eg social influences, political influences, world events ?

As a targeted move away from the aesthetic limits of modernism, postmodernism emerged as an antidote to the form-follows-function mantra. It rejected the rules of its predecessor, modernism and strived to create ornamentation and artistic flair that was absent during the period prior to its conception. This was a time of upheaval and change with the civil rights movements. Economic down turns around the globe. 

Postmodernism hit its peak during the mid eighties, since then it has been on a steady decline. Deconstructivism was  a direct reaction to postmodernism and sought to dismantle understood assemblages of architecture. This  style  was an experiment in the systematic separation, dislocation, rearrangement and distortion of form.  

 
6. identify one aspect from this era that is reflected in todays preferred architectural design styles 

Postmodernism as an architectural style had one very important effect: It freed many architects from the straitjacket of orthodox modernism. People began to accept the more complex designs of the post-modern world and the buildings began to become popular and more and more architectures began to come round to the idea. The inspiration from these initial designs reflected in  carrying on the idea of aesthetically pleasing designs and almost having more fun with  design rather than just focusing on the function.

Newport Beach, California. this  place is famous for Completed in 1926 the Lovell Beach House .This is another masterpiece of modernist architecture by Rudolph Schindler and is recognized as one of his most important projects.

 
3. five key design features associated with this architectural style  

-A modern coastal home will often be a streamlined design both internally and externally. Instead of ornate elements and heritage features that are often found with country or traditional style homes, a beach house design will have simple lines, a simplistic layout and features that flow easily throughout the home. In a beach house design, less is definitely more. Functional yet stylish, modern yet warm and inviting.

-A beach house design will often have a seamless connection between the interior and exterior space as well. Along with the continuation of the same or similar flooring, the openings can be opened completely with the doors stacking neatly to one side for the indoor and outdoor living to become one big space. This is a key feature in this design.

 

-Beach House Designs use Bright Light Tones; 

A beach house design will exude a bright and airy feel that makes you feel relaxed. While the exterior still  can incorporate strong bold colours, the internal spaces are often bright light colours that work to enhance the streamline and modern features. . A modern beach house will use minimal decor elements, so the focus can remain on the beauty of the beach-inspired building design.

-A Design that maximises the Natural Light and Breeze

-Bigger windows and more glass elements are fundamental features of a contemporary beach house. Designed to allow maximum light into the home along with the breeze to promote natural cross-ventilation. Adding glass panels to doors, using glass balustrading to stairwells and using glass decor items work to further increase the overall beachside feel to the home. All this works around capturing the view and allowing the fresh sea air to circulate throughout the home.

-Contemporary beach House Designs Use Nature Inspired Materials and textures;
selecting natural materials and textures to help a  home not only blend in with the surroundings but enhance it. Externally you can use natural elements such as timber and rock, while internally you can incorporate natural products such as bamboo flooring, natural fibre rugs and carpets along with wood panelling to add subtle texture. Careful to stay away from any material that could rust or corrode in salt air. Adding bright, light furniture will provide the finishing touches to your beach house

4. how the style evolved from the style that preceded it eg social influences, political influences, world events

Early beach house styles started out as the summer shack -  was originally meant to serve as merely a home base at the shore, for all of the activities took take place outdoors including fishing, boating, surfing, mini golfing, kit flying and bike riding. simple escape from the summer heat in the days before air conditioning, beach houses have become a trend of second home ownership From a small summer shack on block foundation it evolved  to a 3-bedroom true year-round designed second homes at the beach house .

5. how this style influenced the architectural style that proceeded it
The style continues to develop  in the progression of lifestyle and family size.

First and foremost, the new beach house maximizes its setting to take advantage of every allowable foot in height and in area. Homes are as tall as they can be with roof decks that grab views from bay to ocean.

Another shift in the beach house paradigm is the fact that the second homes are nowadays often more expensive than their owners’ primary residences.

Outdoor living standards  evolve too and now include fancy  pools, fire features, pergolas and of course an outdoor bar.
