First of all, welcome to my blog! It's both a work in progress and an experiment, so bear with me as I learn how to blog. So, welcome to the vernacular, my first attempt at blogging. Why call this thing "the vernacular?" Good question. I have several reasons. First, I just like the sound of the word... ver-nac-u-lar. 4 syllables, rolls off the tongue well. Second, I like the meaning of the word; informal, native, and in the context of architecture, it has to do with buildings made from locally available materials built in traditional methods and styles. Third, I haven't yet seen a blog called "the vernacular." And fourth, did I mention that I just like the word? Anyway, I hope that this blog keeps you interested. It's not going to be about me, but about things I see and find interesting. Keep coming back!
xoxo
Ann
