The postwar era constituted a turbulent, yet transformative period accompanied by significant political and socio-economic changes. The younger generation of Modernist architects incorporated the study of the vernacular into their built and published work. Leading figures from Alison Smithson to Sibyl Moholy-Nagy, Catherine Bauer, and Denise Scott-Brown searched for new ways to defy heroic architectural modernism. They reinstituted the social agenda of the early Modernist movement by drawing on emerging social sciences and ethnographical inquiries in the built environment. Two monumental events frame this study's period: the 1951 Festival of Britain and the 1976 American Bicentennial. Through the study of the streetscape and the popular vernacular, they envisioned an alternative to urban redevelopment that embodied the characteristics of habitat and place, identity, and function. The disintegration of community and family relations and the impending urban renewal order struck postwar architects with their detrimental effects on the urban fabric. The engagement of female practitioners and theorists with a network of architects, urbanists, and preservationists brought social responsibility to the fore. Often dismissed as the "architects' wives" in older historiography, these women were prominent actors in revising the interdisciplinary work of the postwar period. This dissertation traces the evolution of their ideas, projects, and the perception of their works, moving beyond the modernist-postmodernist binary in architecture. It foregrounds their interests in the anonymous vernacular, the unconscious ways of building, and the ordinary everyday life on the streets at the threshold of architecture.
