Perspectives in Vernacular Architecture

1982-2006

Perspectives in Vernacular Architecture was the official publication of the Vernacular Architecture Forum until 2006, when the VAF Board of Directors voted to change its name to Buildings & Landscapes. For nearly a quarter-century, from 1982 to 2006, PVA published the finest scholarship in vernacular architecture and cultural landscape studies. Volumes I through X, which were published in book form every two to three years, drew from the best papers delivered at the VAF’s Annual Conferences; beginning with Volume XI, the series was converted to an annual journal with open submissions.
