With increasing population and its associated demand on our limited
resources, we need to rethink our current strategies for
construction of multifamily buildings in urban areas. Reinventing
an Urban Vernacular addresses these new demands for smaller and
more efficient housing units adapted to local climate. In order to
find solutions and to promote better urban communities with an
overall environmentally responsible lifestyle, this book examines a
wide variety of vernacular building precedents, as they relate to
the unique characteristics and demands of six distinctly different
regions of the United States. Terry Moor addresses the unique
landscape, climate, physical, and social development by analyzing
vernacular precedents, and proposing new suggestions for modern
needs and expectations. Written for students and architects,
planners, and urban designers, Reinventing an Urban Vernacular
marries the urban vernacular with ongoing sustainability efforts to
produce a unique solution to the housing needs of the changing
urban environment.
