Bøker i Vernacular Buildings (Yale)-serien

Third edition (and 10th impression) of the standard introduction to traditional buildings - houses, cottages, farmhouses, farm buildings, small manor houses and chapels.

The standard textbook on timber buildings which include many of the most beautiful houses in Britain. The book is extensively illustrated with outstanding photographs and line drawings which reveal in great detail how these attractive buildings were constructed.

The sequel to Traditional Buildings of Britain traces the origins and development of traditional buildings by going inside the houses and revealing from their plans how they evolved from basic accommodation to homes giving comfort and privacy. The book shows how local traditional materials--earth, timber, stone, brick--were used in the construction of the buildings.

Combines text with diagrams and photographs to explain and illustrate the farm buildings. This work records the origins and uses of traditional building types, then explores the conflicting demands of conservation and re-use and the dangers of enthusiastic restorers who may unwittingly destroy the character of that which they desire to preserve.

Introduces the traditional houses, barns, watermills and chapels of the Lake District and the surrounding hills and valleys that make up the county of Cumbria. This title explains how the building types have developed over the centuries.
