Vernacular Architecture

Henry Glassie

• Publisher: Indiana University Press
• Year: 2000
• ISBN:
  9780253023629
• Topic: Architecture
• Subtopic: Architecture General

Based on thirty-five years of fieldwork, Glassie's Vernacular Architecture synthesizes a career of concern with traditional building. He articulates the key principles of architectural analysis, and then, centering his argument in the United States, but drawing comparative examples from many locations in Europe and Asia, he shows how architecture can be a prime resource for the one who would write a democratic and comprehensive history.
