Relevance to Geoffrey's Research

Mann matters to Geoffrey's everyday & vernacular architecture area: his critique of modernist ideology's failure to address traditional/vernacular building, and his call to design "for the Joneses" and the everyday built environment, align with the flat-ontology and bread-and-butter (Summerson, Agarez & Mota) approaches.
