CONCEPT
“MARRIAGE OF CONTEMPORARY AND VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE”
A New Twist On Old Favorites
Vernacular architecture is defined as architecture that is familiar and useful to the people of a particular geographic area, and thus valued by them. Combining it with modern techniques using the same old traditional materials to increase its functionality can increase the material's flexibility in a particular culture. Employing traditional materials wit modernity is also a critical regionalism strategy. The design approach will be to promote local resources while using them in a contemporary manner.
