10SHP13 A Survey of the Vernacular Architecture of New Jersey
(AH/H) 2 CEUs. The Vernacular Architecture of New Jersey looks closely at the buildings all around us, and teaches students how to see the regional and local interpretation of national building styles and forms. Vernacular architecture is made of easily available materials and is generally not designed by architects, but it makes up the majority of structures in the historic (and contemporary) built environments. This course helps students understand more fully this built environment, ranging from 18th century houses to contemporary commercial buildings, and includes a study of a range of materials and building uses.
