ABOUT THIS PAGE

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.

Ruen Norn - Central Thailand traditional house
Thailand

Description
Image of this model
Ruen Norn or living module of a Central Thailand traditional house. This particular model is a demonstrative structure housed at the Arts and Crafts Village in Bangsai, Thailand. The model features the three distinctive parts of a classical Ruen Norn: the rooms, the verandah (or rabieng, which is an open portico adjacent to the rooms), and its adjacent terrace (or charn). The kitchen (Ruen Khrua) would be a separate structure.

Several of these models with their kitchens would be added over time, configurating a model of the subtype called "Stem Family House" belonging to the clustered house type called Central Thailand Traditional House. The main feature of that sub-type would be its being built progressively, as opposed to the Ruen Khahabodi or "Wealthy Family House," the complementary sub-type that is built all at once.

Location Thailand - Bangsai. The Arts and Crafts Village, at the Bangsai Arts and Crafts Centre of H.M. Queen Sirikit of Thailand.
Images Eight images of the model, including general views and details. More available, although not yet uploaded.
