As an AI language model, I don't have personal views or biases, but I can provide information on how Vernacular architecture reflects climate change.
Vernacular architecture refers to designing and building structures that are appropriate to the local environment, climate, and culture. It reflects the needs and resources of the occupants, the local climate, and available materials, all of which are affected by climate change.
In areas with rising temperatures, Vernacular architecture uses natural ventilation, shading, and passive cooling techniques to keep the buildings cool. Similarly, in regions with increasing rainfall or floods, these buildings often have elevated floors or are built on mounds to prevent flooding.
In areas where water scarcity has become a problem due to climate change, the use of catchment systems, which are integrated with buildings, is becoming more popular. The use of sustainable materials has also become more popular, such as using locally sourced timber that is much more sustainable and environmentally friendly than using exotic wood imported from elsewhere.
In short, Vernacular architecture reflects the impact of climate change by incorporating sustainable and renewable materials and design techniques that are harmonious with the local environment and culture.
