Traditional architecture

Traditional architecture refers to building styles and designs that have been passed down through generations, reflecting the cultural and historical context of a region. It often incorporates local materials, craftsmanship, and techniques, creating structures that harmonize with their environment. Key features usually include distinct roof shapes, decorative elements, and functional layouts suited to local climate and lifestyle. Examples range from medieval castles and colonial homes to indigenous dwellings. This architecture not only serves practical purposes but also conveys aesthetic and cultural values, preserving a sense of identity and heritage within communities.
