DESCRIPTION:Online lecture.&nbsp\;  RSVP via Eventbrite.Wooden storehouses 
 with jutting upper floors and balconies are ubiquitous in rural Scandinavi
 a. This talk demonstrates how such buildings contributed to &lsquo\;race-t
 hinking&rsquo\; in nineteenth-century Sweden. By studying the ways in whic
 h ethnographers\, archaeologists\, and architects traced the history of th
 e Scandinavian people\, it argues that vernacular architecture played a ce
 ntral yet forgotten role in conceptualising Scandinavia and in imagining i
 ts inhabitants&rsquo\; innate characteristics. For nineteenth-century inte
 llectuals\, loft storehouses served as evidence to label the Scandinavians
  as Aryans and to highlight the importance of these people in the world hi
 story of architecture.About Dr Anna RipattiAnna Ripatti is a historian of 
 nineteenth-century European art and architecture. She has published on a v
 ariety of topics\, including architectural restoration and its politicisat
