……没得到应有的关注。我很欣赏第2部分花时间探讨了空气流通。在他们的书单基础上，如果你喜欢老房子/乡土民居，可以从这几本读起：特雷西·基德尔的《House》、弗吉尼亚·萨维奇·麦卡莱斯特的《A Field Guide to American Houses》、莱斯特·沃克的《American Shelter》、玛丽·米克斯·福利的《The American House》。然后再去读：利兰·罗斯的《A Concise History of American Architecture》、《American……

Building on their reading list, if you like older/vernacular homes start with: "House" by Tracy Kidder "A Field Guide to American Houses" by Virginia Savage McAlester "American Shelter" by Lester Walker "The American House" by Mary Mix Foley And maybe move on to: "A Concise History of American Architecture" by Leland Roth "American…
……托马斯·哈布卡的《Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn》，讲农场院落建筑的演变，如果你曾对新英格兰农场上见到的重复格局感到好奇，这本书很有看头。弗吉尼亚·萨维奇·麦卡莱斯特的《A Field Guide to American Houses》，这本书会告诉你各种各样的房子分别叫什么。如果我没记错的话，它里面好像也有一节讲乡土民居。还有一本类似的但我买了还没读……

很棒的博客，我从中学到了不少东西，还有她推荐的那本书——弗吉尼亚·麦卡莱斯特的《A Field Guide to American Houses》。我们通常会把郊区任何较新的房子都叫作 McMansion，但那是错的。千篇一律的 cookie-cutter 也许算得上，但绝不是 McMansion。McMansion 的核心特征是“越多越好”的心态，……
Great blog, I did learn quite a bit from it and also the book she recommends - A Field Guide to American Houses by Virginia McAlester.

我最近买了一本《A Field Guide to American Houses》，从中了解到了“乡土建筑（vernacular architecture）”这个术语，也知道了电视上常听到的那些房屋名称（维多利亚式、科德角式、牧场式……）其实只是建筑的一个切片，即所谓的“上层建筑（polite architecture）”，而在历史上……
I recently got a copy of "A Field Guide to American Houses", from which I learned the term "vernacular architecture" and that all the house names you hear on TV (Victorian, Cape Cod, Ranch ...) are just one slice of architecture, "polite architecture", and historically…
我有那本《Field Guide to American Houses》。今晚我翻一下看看再告诉你，不过考虑到那个年代，它大概率是乔治亚风格的。不是联邦式，也不是荷兰/法国/西班牙殖民地风格。它可能属于所谓的“民间（folk）”住宅，不过……
I have the Field Guide to American Houses. I'll take a look through it tonight and let you know, but given the era it's probably Georgian. It's not Federal, or Dutch/French/Spanish colonial. It might be what is considered a "folk" house, but…
