VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE

Vernacular architecture also embodies the local lifestyle and its process of evolution is completely unconscious.

Vernacular is strongly tied to cultural and social traditions. It responds to ambient environmental
conditions, and it is, in a way, a naturally evolving process. Vernacular architecture comprises all buildings,
not just dwellings and relates to environmental contexts and available resources.

The word ‘vernacular’ derives from the Latin word ‘Vernaculus’ which means native. Hence vernacular
architecture refers to ‘native science of building.’ Vernacular architecture is both regionally and socially
specific.
