VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE
VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE IS A CATEGORY OF ARCHITECTURE BASED ON LOCALIZED NEEDS
AND CONSTRUCTION MTERIALS, AND REFLECTING LOCAL TRADITIONS.
VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE TENDS TO EVOLVE OVER TIME TO REFLECT .
THE ENVIRONMENTAL, CULTURAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT IN WHICH IT
EXISTS.
IT HAS OFTEN BEEN DISMISSED AS CRUDE AND UNREFINED, BUT ALSO HAS PROPONENTS WHO
HIGHLIGHT ITS IMPORTANCE IN CURRENT DESIGN.
IT CAN BE CONTRASTED AGAINST POLITE ARCHIECTURE WHICH IS CHARACTERISED BY STYLISTIC
ELEMENTS OF DESIGN INTENTIONALLY INCORPORATED FOR AESTHETIC PURPOSES WHICH GO
BEYOND A BUILDING'S FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE
AND AN ARCHITECT• MANY MODERN ARCHITECTS HAVE STUDIED VERNACULAR BUILDINGS AND CLAIMED
TO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THEM, INCLUDING ASPECTS OF THE VERNACULAR IN
THEIR DESIGNS.
• IN 19! THE EXHIBITION ARCHITECTURE WITHOUT ARCHITECTS WAS PUT ON AT
THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YOR" BY BERNARD RUDOFS"Y. ACCOMPANIED
BY A BOO" OF THE SAME TITLE, INCLUDING BLAC"#AND#WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY OF
VERNACULAR BUILDINGS AROUND THE WORLD, THE EXHIBITION WAS EXTREMELY
POPULAR.
• IT WAS RUDOFS"Y WHO FIRST MADE USE OF THE TERM VERNACULAR IN AN
ARCHITECTURAL CONTEXT, AND BROUGHT THE CONCEPT INTO THE EYE OF THE
PUBLIC AND OF MAINSTREAM ARCHITECTURE .
• SINCE THE EMERGENCE OF THE TERM IN THE 19$%S, VERNACULAR CONSIDERATIONS
HAVE PLAYED AN INCREASING PART IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS, ALTHOUGH
INDIVIDUAL ARCHITECTS HAD WIDELY VARYING OPINIONS OF THE MERITS OF THE
VERNACULAR.

?AALIS
An aesthetic element from the archives of architecture.
the jaali is basically perforations in a wall created for allowing light and ventilation, the most fundamental being a wall with its header
blocks removed.
Modifying the proportions of perforations, according to the solar angle ,can help control the influx of radiations to quite and extent.
Brick jails sealed with pieces of glass can economically provided pleasing, diffused light.

EFFECT OF CLIMATE ON VERNACULAR
ARCHITECTURAL FORM
• CLIMATE, IN PARTICULAR, PRODUCES CERTAIN EASILY OBSERVED EFFECTS ON ARCHITECTURAL
FORMS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE PROPORTION OF WINDOW AREA TO WALL AREA BECOMES LESS AS ONE
MOVES TOWARD THE EQUATOR. IN WARM AREAS, PEOPLE SHUN THE GLARE AND HEAT OF THE SUN,
AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE DECREASING SIZE OF THE WINDOWS.
• IN THE SUBTROPICAL AND TROPICAL ZONES, MORE DISTINCTIVE CHANGES IN ARCHITECTURAL
FORM OCCUR TO MEET THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE HEAT.
• IN EGYPT, IRAQ, INDIA, AND PAKISTAN, DEEP LOGGIAS, PROJECTING BALCONIES, AND OVERHANGS
CASTING LONG SHADOWS ON THE WALLS OF BUILDINGS ARE FOUND. WOODEN OR MARBLE
LATTICES FILL LARGE OPENINGS TO SUBDUE THE GLARE OF THE SUN WHILE PERMITTING THEBREEZE TO PASS THROUGH.
• SUCH ARRANGEMENTS CHARACTERIZE THE ARCHITECTURE OF HOT ZONES, AND EVOKE COMFORT
AS WELL AS AESTHETIC SATISFACTION WITH THE VISIBLE ENDEAVORS OF MAN TO PROTECT
HIMSELF AGAINST THE EXCESSIVE HEAT.
• TODAY A GREAT VARIETY OF DEVICES SUCH AS SUN-BREAKERS OR BRISE-SOLEIL HAVE BEEN ADDED
TO THE VOCABULARY OF ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES IN THESE ZONES.

• NOTICE, TOO, HOW THE GABLED ROOF DECREASES IN PITCH AS THE RATE OF
PRECIPITATION DECREASES. IN NORTHERN EUROPE AND MOST DISTRICTS SUBJECTED
TO HEAVY SNOW, GABLES ARE STEEP, WHILE IN THE SUNNIER LANDS OF THE SOUTH,
THE PITCH STEADILY DECREASES. IN THE HOT COUNTRIES OF THE NORTH AFRICAN
COAST THE ROOFS BECOME QUITE FLAT, IN SOME AREAS PROVIDING A COMFORTABLE
PLACE TO SLEEP. STILL FURTHER SOUTH, IN THE TROPICAL RAINFALL ZONE, THE
ROOFS ARE AGAIN STEEP TO PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM THE TORRENTIAL
DOWNPOURS TYPICAL OF THE REGION.• IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT SO LONG AS THE PEOPLE OF THE HUMID TROPICAL
REGIONS BUILT THEIR HUTS WITH REEDS AND GRASS, WHICH ALLOWED AIR TO PASS
THROUGH THE WALLS, THE STEEPLY PITCHED ROOF WAS A USEFUL DEVICE. HOWEVER,
ONCE THEY BEGAN TO USE MORE SOPHISTICATED MATERIALS LIKE CEMENT BLOCK
AND THE COMMON GABLED ROOF TOPPED WITH CORRUGATED IRON SHEETS, THE
HOUSES BECAME UNBEARABLY HOT AND STUFFY. THIS KIND OF ROOF PREVENTS THE
CATCHING OF DRAUGHTS AT THE VERY LEVEL WHERE THEY PREVAIL, AND THE SOLID
WALLS PREVENT THE PASSAGE OF AIR.

TOPOGRAPHY
• opography is a general term in geography, which refers to the lie of the land, or various other characteristics of!hysical geography in a region" this is usually expressed in terms of the elevation, slope, and orientation of terrain
features. he understanding of these features is an integral aspect of geography, encompassing the practice of
cartography, surveying, and #$%. he topography of an area often has a great influence on its weather and
sometimes on climate.
• opology refers to the configuration of surface features of a plot of land, which influences where, and how to build
and develop a site. o study the response of a building design to the topography of a site, we can use a series of site
sections or a site plan with contour lines.• &ontour lines are imaginary lines joining points of equal elevation above a datum or bench mark. he trajectory of
each contour line indicates the shape of the land formation at that elevation. 'ote that contour lines are always
continuous and never cross one another, have they coincided in a plan view when they cut across a vertical surface.
