Compression Models list

This is the page of models, or specific examples of vernacular types. Although the name might generate some confusion with the idea of scale-model or maquette, I will call these examples "models" until finding a better term (some people would call them "typological versions," but it sounds too complicated for an online project).
The idea of "model" is related to that of "type." Type would be a building structure whose characteristics remain more or less constant, accross different models. Model would be one out of many variations or interpretations of the type rules. As a way of example, the scheme shown represents different models of turreted houses, which belong to the same Victorian type.
As a side note, and given that the word Victorian immediately recalls the term "style," this is a good opportunity to say that the term style will not be used as a form of classification here on the site. "Type" will be used instead. Why? Style is often associated to a more superficial aspect, that of the skin of the building; that is to say, the decoration and other apparent aspects. The word type allows to talk more freely about building systems, socio-historical, economic and other aspects. In other words, type sounds more "structural," and less related to just the visual aspect of a building.
