Without architects

O Open editions

Common to many coastal or colonial settlements, the architecture of place holds cultural record under social rules and expectations countered by randomness. Loyalists, Colonialists, Victorian values, or imported European dictates, laid foundations of implied tradition from the ground up only to be modified by time and functional change of settlement often usurped by the DIY diploma of “good enough”. Through it all, the originating purpose remains constant in the honesty of shelter and utility.
