Vernacular Architecture
Vernacular Architecture refers to the traditional building styles that are specific to a particular region or community. These structures are often constructed using local materials and techniques, reflecting the culture, climate, and available resources of the area. This type of architecture is typically functional and designed to meet the needs of the inhabitants.
Unlike formal architectural styles, Vernacular Architecture evolves organically over time, influenced by local customs and environmental factors. Examples include Adobe houses in arid regions, thatched cottages in rural areas, and stilt houses in flood-prone zones. Each style showcases the ingenuity of communities in adapting to their surroundings.
