Stone Shelters

Muriel Cooper, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1969

Description

The essence of this book is its documentation—through text, photographs, and scaled maps and drawings—of the development, from the Stone Age to the present of vernacular architecture in a well-defined region of southern Italy, in relationship to the resources of the land and the life of its people.
