Vernacular architecture is closely related to the environment as it involves building structures that are adapted to the local climate, geography, and available materials. It considers factors such as the direction of the wind, the angle of the sun, and the availability of water and building materials. The use of locally sourced materials and traditional building methods further enhances the relationship between vernacular architecture and the environment. This approach to architecture is sustainable and energy-efficient as it minimizes the use of non-renewable resources and promotes a harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature.
