Preferred term

vernacular housing  

Definition

  • 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.
