The Cultural Significance of Greenhouses: A Complicated Identity

The greenhouse is a commonplace architectural typology, a frequent fixture in a host of cities, built to shield plants from the elements ? from excess heat or cold or to prolong the growing season of crops. Evidence of the presence of greenhouses in some form stretches as far back as the 1450s during the Korean Joseon dynasty, but it is in the 1700s that the greenhouse was born as a specific architectural form. Glassmaking improved, and thus the largely transparent, wide-span structures we know today were born. Nestled under the intricate iron metalwork of greenhouses are also wider stories ? of control and undeserved wealth, and resistance.
