Paul Oliver, Oxford Brookes University
Description
The study of vernacular architecture explores the characteristics of domestic buildings in particular regions or localities, and the many
social and cultural factors that have contributed to their evolution. In this book, vernacular architecture specialist Paul Oliver brings
together a wealth of information that spans over two decades, and the whole globe. Some previously unpublished papers, as well as those
only available in hard to find conference proceedings, are brought together in one volume to form a fascinating reference for students
and professional architects, as well as all those involved with planning housing schemes in their home countries and overseas.
Audience
Undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses on vernacular architecture worldwide. Professionals involved in the provision of
emergency housing or reconstruction work. Architectural historians, building conservators, anthropologists.
