Frédéric Aubry Archives : Vernacular Architecture Models = Maquettes d’architecture vernaculaire

2025

Abstract

This publication brings together the revised photographic documentation of the vernacular architecture models produced between 1962 and 1992 within the teaching framework of Professor Frédéric Aubry at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Preserved at the Archives de la construction moderne (ACM), this collection of approximately six hundred models illustrates the diversity of constructive solutions associated with geographically varied contexts across several continents: rural and alpine dwellings, earthen structures, demountable architectures, troglodytic constructions, timber-frame systems, stone or earthen masonry, and structures relying on plant fibres, bamboo, or metal. This edition presents the inventory and visual documentation produced between 2005 and 2008 during the review of the collection and subsequently revised up to 2024.

Inventory

Inventory (American English) or stock (British English) refers to the goods and materials that a business holds for the ultimate goal of resale, production or utilisation. Inventory management is a discipline primarily about specifying the shape and placement of stocked goods. It is required at different locations within a facility or within many locations of a supply network to precede the regular and planned course of production and stock of materials.

Timber framing

Timber framing (Holzfachwerk) and "post-and-beam" construction are traditional methods of building with heavy timbers, creating structures using squared-off and carefully fitted and joined timbers with joints secured by large wooden pegs. If the structural frame of load-bearing timber is left exposed on the exterior of the building it may be referred to as half-timbered, and in many cases the infill between timbers will be used for decorative effect.

Inventory control

Inventory control or stock control can be broadly defined as "the activity of checking a shop's stock". It is the process of ensuring that the right amount of supply is available within a business. However, a more focused definition takes into account the more science-based, methodical practice of not only verifying a business's inventory but also maximising the amount of profit from the least amount of inventory investment without affecting customer satisfaction.
