[Cob] Traditional vs Contemporary was Thesis survey

[Jon Kerr]

I got the impression it was more a question of architectural style than  
materials choices. On the ones where the lines were pretty much  
straight, especially if there was a thatched roof, I clicked  
traditional. For the more "modern" looking houses with their curved  
lines and wide-brimmed hats for rooves I clicked contemporary.
