<p>Originally published in 1993, as part of the <i>Ethnoscapes: Current Challenges in the Environmental Social Sciences</i> series, reissued now with a new series introduction, <i>Placemaking: Production of Built Environment in Two Cultures</i> is a book about the context of placemaking ¿ the production of vernacular architecture and settlement. It is an attempt at prototheory, the formation of a perspective with which to view built environment produced by traditional societies. Focusing on two examples: carved dwellings and other masonry structures of Anatolian Turkey and pre- and post-conquest Southwestern pueblos in the US. Architectural and settlement phenomena are analyzed primarily in terms of the social forces that gave rise to them, rather than their formal properties.</p>
