They were built during periods of urban transformation; disdained for their rural look and for the fire hazard they represented they were nevertheless valued for being warm, affordable and movable. This study reveals the fundamental role played by the wooden house in the formation of urban Sweden and Swedish history. Wooden buildings were particularly suited to mass production and relocation, which helped to realise the ideal town plan in the transformation of Swedish urban space. Early modern wooden houses feature more as archaeological remains and less as preserved buildings every year, thus examination and comparison of these two distinct datasets combined with historical records is important in this study. The author establishes how log construction, timber framing and post and plank buildings were used for a wide range of functions in both central and peripheral locations, and within all strata of society. New strategies were developed to create affordable warm housing while the housing stock featured both change and continuity of layout; the storeyed house contributed to evolution of the multiple unit structure. Surprisingly, this study establishes that timber-framing was more prevalent geographically and functionally than previous research indicated. 650 0 $a Dwellings $z Sweden $x History. 650 0 $a Building, Wooden $z Sweden $x History. 650 0 $a City and town life $z Sweden $x History. 651 0 $a Sweden $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Building, Wooden. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840948 650 7 $a City and town life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862081 650 7 $a Dwellings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00899978 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Sweden. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204537 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781789696783 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021216.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AFF4BF9ECF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
