Vernacular Architecture and Settlement Lab Course is an academic exercise focused on exploring, analyzing, and documenting the architecture and settlement patterns of a particular region, primarily influenced by local culture, climate, materials, and traditions. It involves both theoretical and practical approaches to understand how local communities create sustainable and context-responsive living environments. It may include field visits to vernacular settlements, documentation of traditional structures, material analysis, and understanding spatial organization at different scales—houses, neighborhoods, and communities. The course also emphasizes the relevance of vernacular principles in contemporary architectural practice, especially in the context of sustainability and cultural identity. By bridging traditional knowledge with modern techniques, this lab course equips students with insights into sustainable design approaches and the importance of preserving cultural heritage in architecture.Read less
