Based on thirty-five years of fieldwork, Glassie's Vernacular Architecture synthesizes a career of concern with traditional building. He articulates the key principles of architectural analysis, and then, centering his argument in the United States, but drawing comparative examples from many locations in Europe and Asia, he shows how architecture can be a prime resource for the one who would write a democratic and comprehensive history.

Vernacular architecture refers to regional buildings. It utilizes resources from the region in which the buildings are situated. This type of architecture reveals a collective heritage, embodying the diversity and richness of natural, human, and socio-cultural contexts. Vernacular architecture thus is the result of ancestral knowledge in the use of local materials and pure craft techniques. The book focuses on four topics: (1): Richness and diversity of forms of expression; (2) Restoration issues and revitalization challenges, (3) Natural risks and resilience, and (4) Vernacular architecture as a source of inspiration and a lever for development. Keywords: Coastal Vernacular Architecture, Climatic and Cultural Challenges, Intellectual Representations, Traditional Earthen Architecture, Environment and Restoration, Thermal Storage Materials, Arid Environments, Heritage Preservation, Biopolymer Composite Materials, Hydrography, Tented Living, Seismic Hazards, Seismic Resilience, Bio-Sourced Materials, Geophysical Characterization, Sustainable Territorial Design, Solar Collector, Thermal Storage, Rammed Earth Buildings, Resilient Architecture, Energy-Efficient Buildings, Hydraulic Networks.
