Features of Vernacular Architecture

▪ The builders are non-professional architects or engineers. ▪ There is constant adaptation, using natural materials, to the geographical environment. ▪ The actual process of construction involves intuitive thinking and is open to later modifications. ▪ There is balance between social/economic functionality and aesthetic features. ▪ Styles are subject to the evolution of traditional patterns specific to an ethnic domain.
