On the East Coast, MIT’s Global Architectural History Teaching Collaborative has successfully pushed the Anglo scholarship in another direction, expanding its geographical scope. The Berkeley school of vernacularism, for instance, has trained two generations of scholars devoted to the study of the totality of our built environment, even if their work is still very U.S.-centric. The expansion of our knowledge base has been significant in the twenty-first century. I believe we have, by now, a disciplinary consensus that our traditional Eurocentric canon of architectural history is insufficient (albeit fundamental), and that we are indeed making an effort to fill the gaps.
