Vernacular architecture
encompasses cultural building
traditions that have been passed
down through several generations.
While the styles and techniques
evolve, each vernacular structure is
modest, cost-effective, and
sustainable. These homes have
been around since people first
began building primitive structures.
VERNACULAR
ARCHITECTURE.
1. VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE IS A TERM USED TO
CATEGORIZE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN WHICH USES
LOCALLY AVAILABLE RESOURCES AND TRADITIONS TO
ADDRESS LOCAL BUILDING AND DESIGN NEEDS.

2.Vernacular architecture is defined by the use


of traditional resources, materials, and
knowledge. It is the built environment based on
the needs of a community and is a direct
representation of identity; it reflects traditions,
culture, and religion. Setting down roots always
leaves a mark
Adobe is a building material made from earth and

organic materials. Adobe is Spanish for mudbrick. In


some English-speaking regions of Spanish heritage,
such as the Southwestern United States, the term is
used to refer to any kind of earthen construction, or
various architectural styles like Pueblo

P R E S E N TAT I O N T I T L E
Revival or Territorial Revival. Most adobe buildings are
similar in appearance to cob and rammed
earth buildings. Adobe is among the earliest building
materials, and is used throughout the world.

Straw
Straw could be used to make thatch, one of
the earliest roof coverings. Today, it is used
mostly to re-roof country farmhouses

P R E S E N TAT I O N T I T L E
and cottages built before the 20th century,
but also as an insulation material in walls.

Wattle is made by weaving flexible branches
around upright stakes to form a woven lattice.
The wattle may be made into an individual panel,
commonly called a hurdle, or it may be formed

P R E S E N TAT I O N T I T L E
into a continuous fence. Wattles also form the
basic structure for wattle and daub wall
construction, where wattling is daubed with a
plaster-like substance to make a weather-
resistant wall.

INTRO
Cob, cobb, or clom (in Wales) is a natural building
material made from subsoil, water, fibrous organic
material (typically straw), and sometimes lime.[1] The
contents of subsoil vary, and if it does not contain the right
mixture, it can be modified with sand or clay. Cob is fireproof,
resistant to seismic activity,[2] and uses low-cost materials,
although it is very labour intensive. It can be used to create
artistic and sculptural forms, and its use has been revived in
recent years by the natural building
and sustainability movements.

Clay (bricks)
Bricks are distinguished from mud bricks by being
fired rather than simply left to dry in the sun.
Fired bricks were produced in the Near East as far
back as 3000 BC but it was the Romans who
introduced the technique into the UK in the first
century AD. Brick was later to flourish in the

P R E S E N TAT I O N T I T L E
Middle Ages for use in houses and churches,
and its use extended through Georgian and
Victorian periods. It is still widely used in the UK,
both for traditional and modern buildings. Quarry
tiles (fired brick) are also regarded
as traditional and still used, mostly
for kitchen floors and worktops.

9
Slate
Due to the way it is cleaved, slate has been
used for centuries for roofing, paving and
to form the wearing surface

P R E S E N TAT I O N T I T L E
on steps and stairs. It is still highly valued
as a roof covering but also as a cladding for
contemporary steel and concrete buildings.
In recent years, natural slate has
faced competition (particularly in terms
of price) from man-made slates.

10
Timber
Timber is one of the earliest materials used
to build shelters. Initially, this would have started
with tree branches used to form frameworks that
would be covered with leaves or skins and smaller
branches. This progressed to the creation of cruck-

P R E S E N TAT I O N T I T L E
framed houses which led to the creation of timber-
framed construction with wattle and
daub or brick infill panels. Timber is still used in a
wide range of traditional and modern constructions.
