What is the role of vernacular architecture in architecture culture?

Vernacular architecture plays an important role in architecture culture as it reflects the design and construction techniques of regional and local areas. It is the traditional building style of a particular region and reflects the building materials and methods that have been used in that area for generations, while also accommodating the local climate and culture. The role of vernacular architecture in architecture culture is to preserve and celebrate the local heritage and identity, as well as the ingenuity and creativity of local craftsmen and builders. It helps to create a sense of place and community and serves as a reminder of the richness and diversity of the world's architectural heritage. Additionally, it provides insights into the relationship between architecture and the environment, including the importance of sustainable design principles.
