How do / can we appropriate technical information and know-how in construction by visual methods?
Not sure I can help, but if I understand your question correctly, you are asking how to get input on traditional techniques of building? If you are trying to work with local people and are requesting their expertise and knowledge of construction, one way to start is to elicit their feedback by asking help with a drawing you've made of a building. Starting with a hand-drawn image you've created may open the door for them to help you correct your elevation or plan and may also help them perceive you as genuinely interested in their work.

Thanks for your insight. This is an interesting approach and may work well with builders and local people who can read sketches and drawings. The challenge is with vernacular builders who are not formally trained.
