Official synopsis Publisher
Bringing together scholarship in diverse fields – including architecture, geography, folklore, anthropology, and urban studies – the seventeen essays in this volume confirm the transformations now occurring in the study of vernacular architecture. Moving away from a single vision of vernacular architecture that consisted only of old, rural, handmade structures built in traditional forms and materials for everyday use, scholars are exploring a wider variety of forms and landscapes – from company towns to grand expositions. Drawn from two conferences of the Vernacular Architecture Forum – one held in Charleston in 1994, the other in Ottawa in 1995 – these essays address a broad range of topics.
