Description
The issues surrounding the function and meaning of vernacular architecture in the twenty-first century are complex and extensive. Taking a rigorous theoretical approach, this book considers these issues from a number of perspectives, broadening current debate to a wider multidisciplinary audience. These collected essays from the leading experts in the field focus on theory, education and practice in this essential sector of architecture, and help to formulate solutions to the environmental, disaster management and housing challenges facing the global community today. The vernacular is examined in connection with social issues, history and the future of this often marginalised form, often referencing various specific forms, such as Amish building and sedentary Irish travellers, to link theory and practice.
