Preferred term

vernacular housing  

Definition(s)

  • The term VERNACULAR simply means native to a place. Anthropologists describe vernacular architecture as “ordinary building,” which is distinguished by its “communally sanctioned” qualities and its “intensity of social representation,” as opposed to individual expression. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Vernacular Housing]
