VAF 2026 Conference

The Vernacular Architecture Forum Conference returns to the Pacific Northwest for the first time in nearly thirty years to the Columbia River Plateau and Walla Walla, Washington.

About This Event

The Vernacular Architecture Forum Conference returns to the Pacific Northwest for the first time in nearly thirty years to the Columbia River Plateau and Walla Walla, Washington.

This is a land of striking contrasts: breathtaking natural beauty, agricultural abundance, and surreal geology shaped by cataclysmic floods, all layered with histories of conquest, displacement, and the atomic legacies of plutonium manufacturing during the Manhattan Project. Tours will traverse southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon, exploring historic farmsteads, rodeo culture, and preservation practices.
