Les bâtiments ruraux dans leur environnement en pays de bocage et en pays d’openfield

Abstract

Both in bocage country and in open-field country, the study of the ways buildings are set in the landscape and the ways they are disposed on the plot of property is essential for the correct understanding of rural architecture. More than in earlier periods, the last fifty years have seen the disappearance or the transformation of many buildings and structures, profoundly changing the relation between architecture and the environment.
