Vernacular architecture is an architectural style that is designed based on local needs, availability of construction materials and reflecting local. traditions. At least originally, vernacular architecture did not use formally schooled architects, but relied on the design skills and tradition of local builders.
The benefits of vernacular architecture include: Capitalising on local knowledge and traditions. Taking advantage of local materials and resources, meaning that they are relatively energy efficient and sustainable. Providing a vital connection between humans and the environment in which they live.
Vernacular architecture is characterised by its reliance on needs, construction materials and traditions specific to its particular locality. It is a type of architecture which is indigenous to a specific time and place and not replicated from elsewhere. Historically, vernacular architecture has incorporated the skills and expertise of local builders as opposed to formally-trained architects.
Whilst often synonymous with primitive, nomadic or traditional architecture, can also apply to certain types or architecture in developed countries and urban societies.
