A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The paper focuses on the concept of the vernacular garden and sets out the opportunities for research. Parallels are drawn between vernacular architecture and vernacular gardens and discussion is illustrated by survey work carried out in North Yorkshire and Greater Manchester and comparisons are made with projects in North America. The discussion is set within the context of shifting approaches to conservation and the move towards an increasing emphasis on the importance of the ‘National Estate’ which includes vernacular and locally distinctive gardens and buildings.
