Vernacular Architecture and Landscape History: The Legacy of 'The Rebuilding of Rural England' and 'The Making of the English Landscape'
Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: W. G. Hoskins, writing in the 1950s, developed the new subject of landscape history, and regarded buildings as an essential part of the historic landscape. Since then there has been some separation between architectural and landscape studies. This article advocates their reconnection, and in particular urges those studying buildings to set their work in a landscape context. A framework is proposed, in which houses are located in plots, settlements, territories and regions.
