description Discusses how some storytellers on the Vernacular Architecture Forum have explored historic architecture in their work; they include Charles E. Pattillo III ("St Dunstan's & John"), Dan Brown, Ken Follett, James Deetz, Allan Pred, Lisa C Tolbert, and Dell Upton. This storytelling approach to vernacular architecture can be difficult and inefficient, however, and there is a middle ground between it and "dry recitation of architectural design facts"; this is "landscape storytelling". One form of this is the "imagined vignette", in which the researcher describes a hypothetical scene within the broader study; another is the "researcher's journey", which is closer to a fully-fledged story; and a third form is the "frame", which is a bookend or thematic thread.
