today
?Tatiana Švecová,Arquitectura La Salle, Universitat Ramon Llull
October 15, 2010
In the past, could vernacular architecture be characterised clearly as:
"For want of a generic label we shall call it vernacular, anonymous, spontaneous, indigenous, rural, as the case may be.„
Bernard Rudofsky

-Anonymous-Spontaneous-Indigenous
-Rural
-------
„ ...a building designed by an amateur without any training in design; paying little attention to what may be fashionable. The function of the building would be the
dominant factor, Local materials would be used as a matter of course, other materials being chosen and imported quite exceptionally. „ Ronald Brunskill
-Not fashionable
-Designed by amateur
-Function is the dominant factor
-Local/available materials used

"...it is contended
that 'popular architecture' designed by professional architects or commercial builders for
popular use, does not come within the compass of the vernacular.„
