In contrast to the view widely-held in architectural  circles, this book argues that there has always been a constant flow of  ideas in both directions between the world of 'designed' architecture,  of icons and big-name architects on the one hand, and the world of  ordinary, anonymous buildings on the other. Whether rural vernacular  buildings, shotgun shacks, shanty towns, suburban housing, or  edge-of-town retail barns - these typologies may have been marginalized,  but they have been far from mute in the formation of architectural  discourse. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProviding an accessible examination of the key  academic questions and debates concerning the relationship between  architecture, the vernacular, and the everyday, this book is also a  powerful argument for a new way of thinking about the making of  buildings and the practice of architecture.  Many of the issues  addressed go right to the heart of the identity crisis that architecture  faces in the twenty-first century:  What is architecture? What defines  an architect? And what can architects and designers learn from the  everyday world around them?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDaniel Maudlin\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Architectural History and Theory at the University of Plymouth, UK.
