		With the advent of "modern" architecture in Europe, the growing fame of the Chicago skyscraper idiom, and Frank Lloyd Wright's "Prairie School" architecture, intense pressures for change began to build in architectural education.
		Like all emerging disciplines, architectural education grew up under very different roofs on different campuses, usually depending on the nature of other colleges already established at the time the decision was made to offer architecture programs.
		As the architectural curriculum expanded beyond the art of rendering to include utilitarian subjects such as mechanical equipment and structural analysis, the standard four-year program began to bulge at the seams.

	Papers-Twentieth-century Vernacular Architecture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Amos Rapoport (1969), who defined it as "unworthy" in terms of architecture, stated that it is the architecture of traditional societies which, though produced by specialists, builders by trade, and artisans, is subject to formal models, in both expression and support of a common culture, and to local construction techniques.
		Vernacular architecture therefore contrasts with "high-style" architecture (A. Rapoport), and the architecture of architects (B. Rudofsky).
		Modern vernacular architecture is at the centre of the work of many 20th century architects, serving as the ideal model for new architecture.

	Chinese architecture. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		As early as the neolithic period, a basic principle of Chinese architecture was already established, wherein columns spaced at intervals, rather than walls, provided the support for the roof.
		Through the T’ang and Sung dynasties, Chinese architecture retained the basic characteristics already developed in the Han, although there was a greater technical mastery and a tendency toward rich adornment and complexity of the system of bracketing.
		Though little survives of the wooden structures, our knowledge of their appearance comes from detailed representations in painted scrolls, especially by the Li school of artists in the T’ang period and their followers (see Chinese art).
