Publisher Description: The architecture of the people represents in excess of 90 per cent of the world's buildings, including some 800 million dwellings. This text responds to a worldwide growth of interest in the subject of vernacular architecture; a term widely applied to forms of traditional building that are self-built by their owner-occupiers or built by members of a community who share cultural values and norms. It is not architecture designed and built for the people by professionals, or in the interests of an elite, so it is not formally designed architecture, nor is it popular or suburban architecture.
