Once upon a time, architecture did not need
architects. The construction was based on tradition and community
knowledge rather than on the know-how of one unique specialist.
The alpine chalet or a bamboo home from South-East Asia are just
some examples of this “vernacular” architecture. Vernacular architecture evolves over time reflecting the
characteristics of the local environment, climate, culture,
natural materials, technology and the experience of centuries of
community building.
