Over the decades, there has been a world-wide transformation of
so-called ‘vernacular houses’. Based on ethnographic accounts
from different regions, Houses Transformed investigates the
changing practices of building houses in a transnational context.
It explores the intersection of house biographies and social
change, the politics of housing design, the social fabrication of
aspirational houses, the domestication of concrete and the
intersection of materiality and ontology as well as the rhetoric of
the vernacular. The volume provides new anthropological pathways to
understanding the dynamics of dwelling in the 21st century.
