Frequently Asked Questions About Ethnoarchitecture.com
This is a much-necessary, and much-delayed FAQ document, that I have been finally forced to clean up (began writing it in 2003). I am uploading it as part of the preparation work to make the database public. Click here to read

Ethnoarch Design - Technical update

Database: Getting there… (Get ready to register!)
Image
I previously published a note about the crucial update to Ethnoarch in relation to the traditional buildings database, which is the main, and long delayed, purpose of this website. I was so busy working on the database that even publishing the note took two months, but I am happy to report, three more months after, that I finished the work. The translation work ended, and also the very critical online importing of the bilingual database, which turned out to be a considerably heavy document to put online, 20 megabytes, something that made the uploading work a little complicated. But there is more than that; more databases are ready, and the work in general is only a few days away from being public. This is, then, a good moment to register as a member. Click here to read

An update about the database
Image
A note on the most decisive update work done so far on Ethnoarchitecture.com, the database of vernacular types. The database will actually start, as the entry explains, as a database of indigenous types, which will be in the end, as the entry also explains, actually a database of linguistic groups. Which brings us back to the old connection that the term vernacular has with language.
This note was written two and a half months ago, but I hadn't had time to upload it, precisely because of being immersed in the work of translation that the note mentions. Click here to read
