Most of the world's buildings are fashioned not by architects but by ordinary people, using methods passed down through their communities. This geographical survey explores the world of vernacular architecture from Devon's cob cottages to the tower houses of Yemen. A vibrant colour section illustrates the use of materials from wood and stone to mud brick and recycled bottles, while clear monotone drawings demonstrate the many rich traditions, including the resourceful creations of shanty dwellers in the world's burgeoning cities.
