Architectural
Elements:Climate-
One of the most significant influences

on vernacular architecture is the macro
climate of the area in which the building
is constructed.
Climatic influences on vernacular
architecture are substantial and can be
extremely complex.
The man-made elements interact with the

natural microclimate to determine the
factors affecting comfort in the built
environment: light, heat, wind, and
humidity.
Vernacular architecture
provides shelter and
comfort with the
evolution of craft
passed down through
generations

architecture may come to
reflect a very specific
geographical locale.

Influences on the vernacular

Vernacular architecture is
influenced by a great range of
different aspects of human
behavior and environment,
leading to differing building
forms for almost every
different context; even
neighboring villages may
have subtly different
approaches to the
construction and use of their
dwellings, even if they at
first appear the same
MARDIN,TURKEY
Culture
The way of life

of building
occupants, and
the way they
use their
shelters, is of
great influence
on building
forms.
VILLAGE HUT, SCOTLAND
The size of family units, who shares which

spaces, how food is prepared and eaten, how
people interact and many other cultural
considerations will affect the layout and size of
dwellings.
SANCHI STUPA

influence on the
appearance of
vernacular buildings, as
occupants often
decorate buildings
in accordance with local
customs and beliefs.

Why they are

Vernacular??
Each example is Vernacular because they came

from a tradition of some kind.
For example- The log hut was built a certain way
because of a tradition.
Clay and Stone House

Location: Nepal
Regional variation
Building material depends on location.

In hilly areas rocky rubble,ashlar,mud mortar
to form walls.
Houses on hills usually have two stories, with
the livestock living on the ground floor.
The roof is pitched to deal with the monsoon
season and the house may sit on raised plinths
or bamboo poles to cope with floods.
Flat Lands:
On flat lands, the houses are generally made of
mud or sun-baked bricks and then plastered
inside out.
Bamboo is used for the construction of all parts
of the home as it is flexible and resilient

available and relatively little labor is required.
Pakka

resistant to wear, such as forms of stone or
brick, clay tiles, metal or other durable
materials,
such structures are expensive to construct as
Semi-pukka
