Vernacular Buildings and Urban Social Practice: Wood and People in Early Modern Swedish Society
ISBN: 9781789696776 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wooden buildings housed the majority of Swedish urban populations during the early modern era, but many of these buildings have disappeared as the result of fire, demolition, and modernisation. They were built during periods of urban transformation; disdained for their rural look and for the fire hazard they represented they were nevertheless valued for being warm, affordable and movable.

Wooden buildings were particularly suited to mass production and relocation, which...
