vernacular buildings

Vernacular buildings are structures that are designed and built using local materials, traditional techniques, and styles specific to a particular region or community. They reflect the cultural, environmental, and social conditions of their area rather than following formal architectural rules or modern designs. These buildings often evolve over time through community knowledge and experience, resulting in practical and sustainable structures that suit local climates and resources. Examples include country cottages, farmhouses, or village homes that have been built using methods passed down through generations, embodying the unique character and history of their locale.
