Summary:

This book offers anthropologists, historians, and sociologists a starting point for research on the diversity that characterizes the Romanian rural architectural landscape in the communist and post-communist eras.It is the first contextual analysis of the legal framework for constructing privately owned houses during the Ceausescu dictatorship, including the changes due to the 1977 earthquake. The research is also intended to provide the social, cultural, and historical premises for the analysis of dwelling construction after the fall of the communist regime. It is also a book about the social significance of the actions, from long-term planning to daily routines that transform a house into a home, that create hierarchies within the domestic group or the rural community.
