Vernacular architecture is a little known and less explored field that is concerned with holistic architectural building traditions/practices that are cost effective, ecologically sensible and culturally relevant. Every country has its own genius loci, its own uniqueness in terms of culture, traditions, materials and construction techniques.
Vernacular architecture is composed of local materials and derived from local customs, techniques that have been passed on from generation to generation. It is a category of Architecture based on local needs, construction materials and reflecting local traditions. Originally, vernacular architecture did not use formally-schooled Architects, but relied on the design skills and tradition of local builders. However, since the late 19th century many professional architects have worked in versions of the style.
