"Through enthralling pen-and-ink sketches John Taylor depicts and explains more than 600 elegantly simple and practical structures created by centuries of anonymous builders... The traditions of idigenous folk architecture are distinguished by wise use of resources, responsiveness to environmental forces, and very economical accomodation of human needs...in recent years there has been...a resurgance of interest of buildings that are more
respectful of these factors."
