The built environment is characterized by man-made physical features that make it difficult for certain individuals—often poor people and people of color—to access certain places.
Claim!!! Everything is more difficult for people of color and poor people !
such as class differences— rarely talked about in the United States— that becom e evident in the architectural landscape.
Low class homes are always closer together in order to get a lot of people in the same space as possible. In a way I believe they are trying to keep classes separate this way. Higher income homes are always much bigger, nicer, and spread out with plenty of space. This keeps a difference in classes through architecture, I've never thought of it this way.
Studying buildings, then, requires some special training
Well I would hope so because if we let people without training build buildings, We would all be in great danger giving the fact that we enter into buildings everyday .
Maps, blueprints, historic photographs, and paintings can also reveal information about vernacular architecture.
Maybe the architects that built the sewage storage in Dekalb county were not educated enough or maybe they just couldn't predict how wasteful humans are.

Learning to read architecture— an ability that centers on a kind of visual and spatially oriented analysis— is not easy. So it comes as no surprise that researchers fall back on the customary written sources when confronting buildings as evidence.
Many people without college degrees have architectural jobs.

There are houses like these in Atlanta. I took a tour of the Margaret Mitchell house and it had the set up that this one describes; 2 families in one house.
As an academic exercise, the study of material culture is grounded in the physical and material presence of objects
Although the people in charge can't predict how much waste that there is going to be , They should always have a back up plan so that things like this don't happen. "Sewer Problems Threaten DeKalb's Growth." From the Atlanta Journal Constitution, 2016-08-26. N.p., n.d. Web. 03 Feb. 2017.
If culture determines behavior, and we can see such behavior in the things people make, it is logical that we can also move in the opposite direction, working back from the object in an attempt to explain the ideas, values, and beliefs— the culture— that caused that object to com e into being.1
Never realized how much culture had to do with architecture.
Culture is unseen and immaterial, consisting of the ideas, values, and beliefs of a particular social group or society; but it is everywhere within us, shaping our behavior, helping us to choose the right things to say, providing rules for social interaction, and giving us mental blueprints for making the things we need, from bread pans to buildings.
I agree with this statement, because as I mention in my previous annotation, We can not survive without each other.
Unlike other mammals, humans cannot simply live in nature; rather, we must devise ways of finding and making shelter, clothing and feeding ourselves, and producing the tools needed for survival. In short, people need things— objects, artifacts, however they are referred to— to live in the world, and we make those things, not randomly or by chance, but systematically and intentionally through our culture.
According to google thee definition of culture is; the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. I believe to find this statement true because us humans truly could not live in nature, especially without each other.
his book is intended as a beginner’s guide to vernacular architecture studies. The idea for it came from the classroom. As teachers, we wanted an introductory text for students that would both open their eyes to the world of ordinary buildings and outline a basic method for studying them. It had to be affordable, so it had to be short.
Well is there truly a basic way of teaching architecture ? If it was that basic , why can't there be something built to keep the waste contained in Dekalb county. I don't think that it's so basic
