- Employee Housing, Fordlandia, Brazil, June 1932 - In 1928, Ford Motor Company established Fordlandia, a 2.5 million-acre rubber plantation and industrial town, in the Amazon Rainforest. Native workers rioted two years later against imposed American work rules and behavioral restrictions. To alleviate tensions, Ford began building new housing and other amenities. The building designs, however, were patterned after management's Midwestern American aesthetics -- inappropriate for Brazil's tropical climate.

- Bridge and Burbank's Residence, Santa Rosa, California, 1913 - The reconstruction of Santa Rosa, California, after the 1906 earthquake, privileged automobiles over railways. This steel-truss bridge afforded easier pedestrian and automobile access to Luther Burbank's experimental gardens. Burbank's new home, completed by December 1906, is visible through the trusses. During the 1960s, urban renewal and flood control projects destroyed Burbank's 1906 home and buried Santa Rosa Creek.
