Vernacular Architecture refers to the traditional, indigenous style of architecture that is specific to a particular geographic region and culture and is typically designed by local builders and craftsmen rather than by professional architects. Vernacular Architecture is shaped by the local climate, materials, and construction techniques, as well as by cultural and economic factors. The style is often functional and practical rather than ornate or decorative and reflects the needs and lifestyles of the people who live in the area. Vernacular Architecture can take many different forms, including houses, farm buildings, religious structures, and other types of buildings. The style is an important part of the cultural heritage of many communities and reflects the values and traditions of a particular place.
