"The programme looks great and I look forward to attending the conference next week. For info, I attach a copy (a proof, but no changes have been made since) of a paper of mine published earlier this year in our edited book Vernacular Architecture in the 21st Century, which outlines in very general terms future research possibilities for the field of vernacular studies."
