vernacular puritan architecture

below i have posted the presentation boards i completed for the first part of the newest project. after studying the puritans i really focused on how their towns were formed by their religious views and how/why they used such materials. i felt that i did a good job of analyzing and clearly showing my analysis on the board but my professor didnt really agree with me. however, much of his dislike was with my abstract drawing which i agree was not as thought out as it should have been as i came up with it at 5 in the morning and on 1 hour of sleep. anyway, i will rework that as it is the basis for our next project.



- board 1 showing colonial boston settlements and the drastic change to present day boston



- board 2 shows a diagram of the main aspects that affected the colonial vernacular and below is the typical town layout and how centralized the church should be in the puritans eyes



- board 3 shows simple diagrams about materials, building layout, affects of weather, and adaptability
