Features: Research on vernacular architecture is closely related to many disciplines due to its broad scope. Therefore, breaking through relatively singular disciplinary boundaries and conducting interdisciplinary research is becoming a major trend in the theory and methodology of contemporary vernacular architecture studies. This book adopts an interdisciplinary and integrated approach, selecting disciplines such as sociology, human geography, communication studies, and ecology to intersect with vernacular architecture. It constructs theoretical frameworks for related research, thereby expanding the theoretical perspective of vernacular architecture studies. Based on years of research and teaching on this topic, the author has written this book, which can serve as a reference for researchers in vernacular architecture, historians, and cultural workers in terms of research theory and methodology. It can also be used as a textbook or reference book for architecture majors in higher education institutions.
