The article gives the definitions of such concepts as vernacular city, vernacular urbanism and vernacular approach in the study of the origin and development of the historic city. It considers the problems arising in urban settlements as a result of unrestrained spontaneous growth. The impact of uncontrolled multiplication of development of urban peripheries affects the functioning of the whole urban organism. The problems of spontaneous horizontal growth of the city’s territory are considered on the example of Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.

This article examines the historical development of residential architecture in Central Asia. It explores how nomadic lifestyles, local climatic conditions, and cultural traditions influenced housing design throughout history. From portable yurts to urban housing in ancient cities and the revival of vernacular architecture from the 16th to 19th centuries, the study highlights the importance of maintaining national building traditions and adapting modern residential projects to environmental and social contexts.

AbstractExcavators have put forward opposing interpretations of the architectural sequence at the Early Bronze Age site of Troy. C.W. Blegen suggested that freestanding ‘megaron’ houses determined the visual pattern of the earliest settlement, while M.O. Korfmann compared Troy I to the circular layout of the Early Bronze Age site at Demircihüyük (the ‘Anatolian settlement plan’). Post-excavation analysis of the archaeological record from the excavations (1987–1992) in ‘Schliemann's Trench’ at Troy suggests a modification of the views of both Blegen and Korfmann. The local building tradition at Troy I was characterised by flat-roofed, long-room dwellings arranged in rows and sharing lateral walls. This peculiar settlement layout, recurrent at coastal and inland sites in the western part of Anatolia during the early centuries of the third millennium BC but unfamiliar at this time in the neighbouring regions of central Asia Minor and the Aegean, can be described as an Anatolian ‘row-house’ style. The present study applies the concept of vernacular architecture to the architectural record of Troy I and other contemporary ‘row-house’ sites to elucidate the social and cultural factors that shaped the domestic architectural traditions of early third-millennium western Asia Minor.

ABSTRACT: The wooden “lantern roof” is an architectural element spread over a wide area, particularly in the Central Asia, Siberia, Caucasus and Anatolia. It has widespread use in monumental and religious as well as vernacular architecture. In the studies carried out so far, it is stated that “lantern roof” is an application originating from the North Asia and distributed to the other regions through Central Asia. However, chronological development of the lantern roof, has not been addressed within the context of archaeologic data and historical process. The aim of current study is to contribute to the area by discussing the development of wooden lantern roof chronologically in the light of archaeological data. According to the information obtained from archaeological excavations, the earliest known wooden lantern roof was determined in North Kazakhstan. It has been revealed that the pit-houses at the Chalcolithic Botai settlement dated to 3700-3500 BC had lantern roofs. This roof technique had been continuously applied until 1500 BC in more than hundred houses revealed at Botai. Starting from the Bronze Age the lantern roof spread from Botai to the Central, Eastern and Southern Kazakhstan, through the Altai Mountains to the depths of Siberia, in the west to the Ural area, through the Caucasus to the Black Sea region and later through the Eastern and Southern Kazakhstan to the Eastern Turkistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The lantern roof has become a traditional element of vernacular architecture in Kazakhstan and Siberia regions and has been used as an indicator of cultural continuity until nowadays. ÖZET: Ahşap tütekli örtü başta Orta Asya, Sibirya, Kafkasya ve Anadolu coğrafyaları olmak üzere oldukça geniş alanlara yayılmış bir mimari unsurdur. Geleneksel konut mimarisinin yanı sıra anıtsal ve dini mimaride de yaygın kullanımı bulunmaktadır. Şimdiye kadar yapılan çalışmalarda Kuzey Asya kökenli bir uygulama olduğu ve diğer bölgelere Orta Asya üzerinden dağıldığı ifade edilmiştir. Ancak bu görüşün arkeolojik verilerin ışığında ve tarihi süreç içinde kronolojik gelişimi ortaya konulmamıştır. Bu çalışma arkeolojik veriler ışığında kronolojik olarak ahşap tütekli örtüyü ele alarak söz konusu alana katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Arkeolojik kazılardan elde edilen bilgilere göre bilinen en erken tarihli ahşap tütekli örtü uygulaması, Kuzey Kazakistan’da tespit edilmiştir. Kalkolitik döneme tarihlenen Botay yerleşiminde M.Ö. 3700-3500 yıllarına tarihlenen konutların ahşap tütekli örtüye sahip olduğu kanıtlanmıştır. Botay’da M.Ö. 1500 yıllarına kadar aralıksız devam eden yerleşime ait yüzlerce konutta bu örtü uygulanmaya devam edilmiştir. Arkeolojik veriler ışığında Tunç Çağı’ndan itibaren bu örtü uygulamasının Botay’dan batıya Urallar ve Karadeniz’in kuzeyi ile Kafkasya’ya, diğer yönden Altaylar ve Sibirya’nın derinliklerine, güneye doğru ise Orta ve Güney Kazakistan’a, daha sonra oradan, Doğu Türkistan’a, Özbekistan ve Tacikistan’a doğru yayıldığı anlaşılmıştır. Ahşap tütekli örtü, Kazakistan ve Sibirya bölgelerinde yerel mimarinin geleneksel bir unsuru haline gelerek günümüze kadar kültürel sürekliliğin bir göstergesi olarak uygulanmaktadır.

"The Serendipitious City in South East Asia—Urban Archetypal Design Principles from the Morphological ‘Vernacular’." Architecture and Design Review 2, no. 2 (2020): 21. http://dx.doi.org/10.18282/adr.v2i2.890.
Full textAbstract:
<p align="justify">‘Serendipitious’ has been defined as occurring or discovered by chance in a happy or beneficial way. “A serendipitous encounter” thus generally means one or a series of unexpected but pleasant encounters. A city, which is serendipitious, is a physical form, which has configuration and features which allows such encounters to happen. This paper highlights vernacular-based principles which are needed to counter the modernisation and urbanisation trends in South East Asia, throughout studying the typological and morphological character of ‘littoral maritime’ cities which grew in the 15th century onwards across littoral or coastal straits of maritime Asia represent pre-modern vernacular-rooted forms from which contain patterns that are urban, yet naturally-balanced with the environment. As these grew as a result of maritime trade, it is highly densed yet still reflect ecological features and conditions are still intact. The paper reconstructs some of these patterns and identify four central character as a result of their urban which resonate with ‘ecological themes’: 1) accretion qualities; 2) river-gravitation; 3) fractality and 4) centricity. The paper argues that although these patterns emerge from medieval times, these maritime cities constitute a ‘gentle’ and ecologically-sound approach to development which can unite the co-existence of urbanisation and nature. In such conditions, the tropical jungle exists side by side with densed urbanisation. The paper uses the reconstruction of the former (pre-colonial) morphologies in South East Asia to demonstrate the character of these centers, which are organic and informal evolvements having certain morphologies, configurations, architectural structures and their similarities and common principles in terms of urban patterns and principles are discussed. The pursuit of the optimal balance between ‘man’ and ‘nature’ must reflect in a city which consider living beings as both animal, vegetation and man, and which are, at present, in danger of critical depletion, and eventually extinction. Cases of built language, topography, ecology, landscape forms and urban configuration patterns and parameters across the region are presented and the paper argues that the rise of sustainability in city planning favors the compact and densed formal patterns which are reflective of these centers across the coastline of the straits historically and these constitutes principles that can sustain ecology, climatic balance yet an active cultural conduit of the place.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Около 150 древних поселений разной величины, зарегистрированных в низовьях старой дельты реки Мургаб на юге Туркменистана и датированных периодами средней и поздней бронзы, а также несколько синхронных памятников, обнаруженных в приамударьинских районах на севере Афганистана и на юге Узбекистана, дали впечатляющий материал для новой версии начала истории архитектуры этого региона мира. Все найденные поселения принадлежат Бактрийско-маргианскому археологическому комплексу (БМАК), часто именуемому также «Цивилизацией Окса», и входили в состав микрооазисов - так называемых номов, если следовать месопотамской традиции. В некоторых из них присутствуют явные признаки административных и культовых центров, резко контрастирующих с окружающей бытовой застройкой. Археологи, открывшие и раскопавшие эти объекты, наметили векторы влияний и обозначили процесс эволюции местной строительной практики. Была также предпринята попытка выявить заимствования из протоиндийской цивилизации, Месопотамии и сиро-анатолийского мира. Уточнялась степень проникновения элементов БМАК в античную и средневековую архитектуру Ирана и Центральной Азии. Тем не менее вопросов здесь больше, чем ответов. В статье представлен обзор изученных сооружений, позволяющий увидеть вероятные истоки основных архитектурно-планировочных принципов, распространенных на означенной территории в доахеменидский период. Генезис БМАК - тема дискуссионная, и пока можно лишь предполагать, кем были носители этой бесписьменной культуры, откуда они пришли, какие образы служили эталонами в их строительной деятельности. Как бы то ни было, мы имеем большой фактический материал, который слабо представлен в историографии архитектуры Древнего мира и должен быть рассмотрен в техническом, функциональном и социальном аспектах. Попытка наметить контуры такого исследования, решающего проблемы интерпретации остатков монументальной архитектуры, предпринята в настоящей статье. Самобытность бактрийско-маргианской архитектуры определяет совершенно новый тип сооружений, которого не было прежде. Это «крепости», чьи планировочные схемы в виде квадрата или прямоугольника с прямоугольными или круглыми башнями на углах и по периметру стен, а также с круглым планом отличаются от более ранних энеолитических структур четким построением геометрических форм, стремлением придерживаться правил симметрии. Такие схемы получили самое широкое распространение несколько веков спустя, когда другие уникальные формы материальной культуры БМАК (керамика, глиптика, мелкая пластика и др.) были совершенно забыты. И только в архитектуре последующих эпох - от восточного эллинизма до вернакуляра XIX в. - продолжал воспроизводиться древний фортификационный канон. Все упомянутые в статье памятники наглядно свидетельствуют о зарождении монументальности в архитектуре раннеземледельческих цивилизаций, оказавшихся на периферии древневосточного мира и не знавших прежде ни такой масштабности, ни такого геометризма. Это стало возможным в результате глубоких изменений в социальной жизни местных сообществ, которые накопили материальные ресурсы и идеологический капитал для осуществления беспрецедентных по объему строек. Монументальность как формальное свойство элитных резиденций и религиозных зданий стала выражением культурной мутации, происходившей в процессе включения Бактрии и Маргианы в обширную сеть межрегиональных контактов. Репрезентативная архитектура БМАК была самобытной новацией на рубеже III-II тысячелетий до н. э. и сошла со сцены, оставив после себя угасшие храмы, которые сменились укрепленными сооружениями дворцового типа. Сама эта цивилизация исчезла, когда единство условий, предопределявших ее существование, было нарушено. Жречество как особая каста частично потеряло свое прежнее высокое положение, хотя явно привнесло старую символику и традиции в преемственный цикл развития монументальной архитектуры Центральной Азии в раннем железном веке и значительно позже. About 150 ancient settlements of different sizes, recorded in the lower reaches of the old delta of the Murgab River in southern Turkmenistan and dated to middle and late Bronze Age, as well as several contemporaneous monuments found in the Amur-Darya regions in northern Afghanistan and southern Uzbekistan, supplied impressive material for the new version of the beginning of the history of architecture in this region of the world. All the settlements found belong to the Bactrian-Margiana archeological complex (BMAK), often also called the Oxis Civilization, and were part of the micro-oases, the so-called noms, according to the Mesopotamian tradition. In some of them there are clear traces of administrative and religious centers, in sharp contrast to the surrounding residential buildings. Archaeologists who discovered and excavated these objects, outlined the vectors of influence and outlined the process of evolution of local construction practices. An attempt was also made to uncover borrowings from the Indus Civilization, Mesopotamia and the Syro-Anatolian world. The degree of penetration of the elements of the BMAK into the ancient and medieval architecture of Iran and Central Asia was clarified. However, there are more questions than answers. The article presents an overview of the structures studied, which makes it possible to see the likely origins of the main architectural and planning principles prevalent in the designated area in the pre-Achaemenid period. The genesis of the BMAC is a debatable topic and so far one can only guess who the bearers of this pre-writing culture were, where they came from, what images served as benchmarks in their construction activities. Albeit, we have a large amount of factual material that is poorly represented in the historiography of the architecture of the Ancient World and must be considered in technical, functional and social aspects. An attempt to outline the contours of such a study, which solves the problems of interpreting the remnants of the monumental architecture, has been made in this article. The originality of the Bactrian-Margiana architecture defines a completely new type of structure, which was not there before. These are “fortresses” whose planning schemes in the form of a square or rectangle with rectangular or round towers at the corners and along the perimeter of the walls, as well as with a circular plan, differ from the earlier Eneolithic structures by the precise construction of geometric forms, by the desire to adhere to the rules of symmetry. Such schemes became most widespread a few centuries later, when other unique forms of BMAK material culture (ceramics, glyptics, small works of plastic art, etc.) were completely forgotten. And only in the architecture of the subsequent epochs - from Eastern Hellenism to Vernacular of the 19th century did the ancient fortification canon continue to be reproduced. All the monuments mentioned in the article clearly indicate the origin of monumentality in the architecture of early agricultural civilizations that turned out to be on the periphery of the ancient Eastern world and did not know any such scale and such geometricism before. This became possible as a result of profound changes in the social life of local communities, which have accumulated material resources and ideological capital for the implementation of unprecedented construction projects. Monumentality as a formal property of elite residences and religious buildings became an expression of a cultural mutation that occurred in the process of incorporating Bactria and Margiana into an extensive network of interregional contacts. The representative architecture of the BMAK was a distinctive innovation at the turn of the III-II millennia BC and left the stage, leaving behind the dead temples, which were replaced by fortified palace buildings. This civilization itself disappeared when the unity of the conditions predetermining its existence was disrupted. The priesthood as a special caste partially lost its former high position, although it clearly introduced the old symbolism and traditions into the successive developmental cycle of the monumental architecture of Central Asia in the early Iron Age and much later.

The paper firstly introduces vernacular architecture and defines thermal comfort. The second section of this paper gives an account of the way vernacular houses respond to climate and achieve thermal comfort. Vernacular houses of Chhattisgarh, a central state of India are selected for this study to find the evidence that vernacular architecture is likely to be passively comfortable. Courtyards play a vital role in creating thermal comfort along with other social and cultural roles. Vernacular houses are more environment- friendly because they are evolved through a continuous process.

Abstract Understanding why Persian ceded ground to the vernacular Turkic in Central Asia in the 18th century is key to detecting major cultural realignments in the Balkans-to-Bengal complex. To date, however, focus has been predominantly on the constraining of Persian’s hegemonic status in Asia, its shaping colonial knowledge, and its stamping an imprint on other literary languages in post-colonial situations. Taking this literature as a point of departure, I change perspective and examine the process whereby a vernacular idiom acquired prominence prior to the onset of Russian colonization. By setting aside the issue of scope of Persian, I turn to an exploration of writing practices in Turkic in the early modern period in Khorezm, a major oasis in Central Asia within the territory of what is today Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. Interpreted in the literature so far as an isolated phenomenon, the ascendance of Chaghatay Turkic in Khorezm has been in fact studied in isolation from similar processes of vernacularization. By reconnecting writing practices in this oasis to patterns of literary consumption in Central Eurasia more generally, I point to an area of shared vernacular sensibilities across Khorezm, the Middle Volga, the Kazakh Steppe and the Tarim Basin. Furthermore, I argue that the promotion of the vernacular among Turkic-speaking Muslims in the Russian empire in the early 20th century was built on earlier processes of elevation of a written culture from the demotic to the literary.

Full textAbstract:
As an important sustainable architecture, vernacular architecture plays a significant role in influencing both regional architecture and contemporary architecture. Vernacular architecture is the traditional and natural way of building that involves necessary changes and continuous adjustments. The formal characteristics of vernacular architecture are accumulated in the process of sustainable development. However, most of the research methods on vernacular architecture and its formal features are mainly based on qualitative analysis. It is therefore necessary to complement this with scientific and quantitative means. Based on the object detection technique, this paper proposes a quantitative model that can effectively recognize and detect the formal features of architecture. First, the Chinese traditional architecture image dataset (CTAID) is constructed, and the model is trained. Each image has the formal features of “deep eave”, “zheng wen”, “gable” and “long window” marked by experts. Then, to accurately identify the formal features of vernacular architecture in Jiangsu Province, the Jiangsu traditional vernacular architecture image dataset (JTVAID) is created as the object dataset. This dataset contains images of vernacular architecture from three different regions: northern, central, and southern Jiangsu. After that, the object dataset is used to predict the architectural characteristics of different regions in Jiangsu Province. Combined with the test results, it can be seen that there are differences in the architectural characteristics of the northern, middle, and southern Jiangsu. Among them, the “deep eave”, “zheng wen”, “gable”, and “long window” features of the vernacular architecture in southern Jiangsu are very outstanding. Compared with middle Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu has obvious features of “zheng wen” and “gable”, with recognition rates of 45.8% and 27.5%, respectively. The features of “deep eave” and “long windows” are more prominent in middle Jiangsu, with recognition rates of 50.9% and 73.5%, respectively. In addition, architectural images of contemporary vernacular architecture practice projects in the Jiangsu region are selected and they are inputted into the AOD R-CNN model proposed in this paper. The results obtained can effectively identify the feature style of Jiangsu vernacular architecture. The deep-learning-based approach proposed in this study can be used to identify vernacular architecture form features. It can also be used as an effective method for assessing territorial features in the sustainable development of vernacular architecture.

Full textAbstract:
Thailand’s vernacular and religious architecture is rich and unique. Wat Chedi, a temple in the southern part of the country, is visited by thousands of Buddhists and tourists every month. Despite of its national importance, Wat Chedi is not considered as a historical site and therefore, the site is undervalued. This study aims to assess the value of Wat Chedi’s architectural design and features by proposing a novel point-based criteria based on aesthetic, scientific, educational, and social values. The novel criteria also consider factors such as changes and the respect for changes, which are aligned with the concept of conservation in Southeast Asia. The proposed criteria are then applied to Wat Chedi and to the historic Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan temple, and the results are compared and discussed. The results indicated that whilst Wat Chedi has changed both physically and culturally along with the community and era, it is still a site with significant vernacular architecture and ‘high’ aesthetic, scientific, educational, and social values, whilst the historical value of Wat Chedi is classified as ‘moderate’. Moreover, Wat Chadi’s architecture is proven to be a symbol of people’s spiritual beliefs. It is proposed that the Fine Arts Department of Thailand (and/or relevant agencies) should adopt the criteria proposed in this study to assess other vernacular and religious sites across the country. It also proposed to register Wat Chedi as a valuable intangible cultural heritage site of faith to be preserved for future generations. This article contributes towards developing more efficient tools to assess the vernacular architecture of faith in Southeast Asia, which in turn can help protect important sites for future generations.

Sade Village displays a unique settlement pattern that is influenced by geographical conditions and the needs of its residents. One of the buildings that follows the contour of Sade Village is Bale Tani, a medium-sized bale generally inhabited by families with a middle economic level. Bale Tani has undergone several changes due to the wishes of its residents, which have the potential to influence the sustainability of its vernacular architecture. This research aims to analyze the sustainability of Bale Tani vernacular architecture in Sade Village using the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method through the RAPFISH application, as well as carry out leverage analysis to identify indicators that influence sustainability. The results of the analysis show that the overall level of sustainability of the Bale Tani vernacular architecture is less than satisfactory, with a sustainability index value reaching 47.64%. Each of the analyzed dimensions, such as visual image, climate responsiveness, and comfortable living space, shows a low level of sustainability. Of the 18 indicators observed, nine indicators, including kamar dedare, kamar dengan to’aq, roof sheathing, wall sheathing, window openings, building floor, floor plan, roof, and wall, are the dominant factors in the sustainability of Bale Tani vernacular architecture.

The emergence of the new types of vernacular houses shows the evidence of change leaping fromthe popular image of the traditional Thai houses. The change is impacted from many factors includingcontemporary cultural needs. New vernaculars, which are found in the central Thailand, are the transformingThai houses and the reproduction Thai houses. These two occurrences began since the 1960s (forthe first type) and the 1990s (for the second type). The vernacular houses were surveyed in Pak Kranvillage and Bang Pahun area in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province during the 2000s. These new vernacularhouses have developed from the traditional Thai house among other modern housing developments.However, there is lacking of awareness and understanding of the change. Most of the policies from Thaigovernment, study courses and research topics have focused only on the image in the past. Accordingly,contemporary vernaculars tend to be disregarded. For recalibrating the new vernaculars in this paper, thereare three main subjects: 1. the viewpoints on vernacular architectures both from local and internationalscholars; 2. the definitions and previous studies relating to vernaculars; and 3. the establishment of the newvernacular architectures, which closely relate to the traditional Thai house. This paper involves developingan understanding of vernaculars as well as providing ways to expand the scope of vernacular studies.

Full textAbstract:
The evidence of the historical development of the Songkla Lake Basin (covering Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Songkhla Province, and Pattalung Province) has been found since the 5th BE, and clearly noticed during the 12-13th BE as the port of Srivijaya Kingdom. Then in 16th BE, pieces of evidence of relationship with the Song Dynasty of China were found. During the 17-18th BE, Nakhon Si Thammarat played its role as the centre of Tambalinga Kingdom. In the 20th BE, many cities in the South were under the control of Ayudhya and Rattanakosin, the capitals, respectively. Political control and Buddhism were clearly seen. For economic circumstance, people lived their lives mainly on farming and doing agricultural activities. Due to the fact that farming needed much labour, people lived altogether. Communities expanded and temples were their centre. For the study of the floor plan of Buddhism vernacular architecture, it was found that the compositions and forms were similar to those found in the Chao Phraya Basin during Ayudhya and Rattanakosin period because of influence and relationship in terms of politics and Buddhism. However, due to its geographical aspects, the South has witnessed and experienced other cultures. This affected forms of architecture although the South has mainly been inspired by the Central Region, along with its own transformation and evolution. The study also found that the floor plan of temples is similar to that of the Central Region, for example Ubosot and the main Chedi were the main compositions, found in old temples, while Bua or small Chedi, keeping ancestors’ relics, were found in small temples, both outdoor or in the pavilion. The pavilions for miscellaneous purposes, because of the monsoon, were also found in the floor plan. In addition, vernacular architecture for shadow puppet theatre was also found generally.

Title: Vernacular Architecture that Supports Sustainable Development in the Tamkesi Traditional Village, North Central Timor Regency
 Indonesia has a wealth of diverse vernacular architecture. Still, in this era of openness to information and outside cultures, it seems the uniqueness of this architecture has become neglected and threatened with loss. Amid the external-internal influences that cause changes in the archipelago's vernacular buildings, the Atoni tribe in the Tamkesi traditional village responds otherwise. This paper examines how the indigenous Atoni people maintain the authenticity and sustainability of the Tamkesi traditional village, its architecture, and their involvement in sustainable development. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods, while analysis techniques are carried out by coordinating data collection techniques through books, journals, articles, and an understanding of the theory of vernacular architecture and sustainable development. Based on the results of the analysis show that the Tamkesi traditional village is one of the oldest villages on the island of Timor, East Nusa Tenggara, which is still sustainable today and has developed from generation to generation based on the concept of local cultural wisdom and harmonization with nature.

Full textAbstract:
The article aims to investigate the influence of vernacular architecture on modern design, seeking to understand how the latter can integrate traditional principles and techniques to address contemporary challenges related to sustainability, cultural identity and energy efficiency.Methodology: The study was carried out through a comprehensive review of related scientific literature. Databases such as Scielo and Google Scholar were used, searching for relevant articles with terms such as “vernacular architecture” and “modern design”. The search process was conducted between August and September 2023, reviewing articles published between 2021 and 2023 and excluding less relevant manuscripts, resulting in a final corpus of four articles relevant to the review.Results: The results show that vernacular architecture has a significant influence on the sustainable housing model, especially in rural areas, by employing local materials and techniques that promote energy efficiency and climate adaptation. In Europe, its integration into modern design promotes the preservation of cultural traditions and fosters innovation by combining traditional practices with contemporary technologies. In Central America, this architecture helps strengthen the sense of belonging and improves the comfort of living spaces.Main Conclusions: Vernacular architecture is not only relevant to preserve cultural identity, but also offers practical and sustainable solutions that align with current needs. The fusion of traditional techniques with modern innovations can result in buildings that are more efficient and adapted to their surroundings, promoting an environmentally responsible approach. Through adaptation to local conditions and the use of available materials, vernacular architecture can serve as a model for developing housing solutions that respond to contemporary challenges.These conclusions highlight the importance of integrating lessons learned from vernacular architecture into modern design to improve the sustainability and functionality of our built spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Lake Toba is the largest lake in Indonesia, even in Southeast Asia. Lake Toba has excellent potential as a tourism area development in North Sumatra. On the outskirts of Lake Toba, especially Paropo, there are still many who do not have facilities for tourists, the large number of tourists who come to Paropo causes the Paropo area to need supporting facilities such as resort hotels as supporters of North Sumatra tourism development. Resort hotels are hotels located in tourist attractions, such as mountains, beaches, and lakes. The design of the Paropo resort hotel applies the Neo vernacular architectural concept. The problem with this design is "how to apply the neo vernacular architectural concept to the design of a resort hotel." The purpose of applying the concept of Neo vernacular architecture in buildings is one of the efforts so that it is inseparable from the surrounding culture and can also introduce regional culture to the tourists who come. Designing this resort hotel uses qualitative methods. This resort hotel brings the theme of Neo vernacular architecture that combines traditional Dairi/Pak-Pak architecture with modern architecture, where physical elements are applied/changed but also non-physical items such as cultural values, mindset, beliefs, layout, religion, etc. into the form of buildings and site design. The benefit of designing this resort hotel is the creation of resort hotels that can still preserve the elements of local culture with a layer of modernization and, if built, can develop the tourism area of Paropo to attract tourists.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to investigate the natural lighting performance in indoor and semi-open spaces of urban vernacular architecture in the Mediterranean region. In vernacular architecture, natural lighting was the main source of light available and was largely achieved through the central courtyard. In this framework, an in-depth lighting performance analysis was carried out in a typical and representative traditional urban complex in the walled city of Nicosia, Cyprus. In-situ lighting measurements, as well as software simulations, were employed in order to assess the lighting performance of the building complex. The study has shown that lighting levels of semi-open and indoor spaces on the first floor are sufficient; whereas, the dense urban fabric, and the introverted character of vernacular architecture, create certain limitations to the lighting levels in indoor spaces of the ground floor. On the other hand, the positive impact of the inner courtyard to the lighting levels of semi-open and indoor spaces has been verified.

PurposeThis study explores the characteristics of female space evolution in Korean vernacular houses in the Yanbian region of China. In addition, it discusses the influence of social logic on the evolution of female spaces.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilises space syntax methodology to examine the evolution of female spaces in Korean vernacular houses in terms of connectivity value, step depth and integration value. Furthermore, it conducts an analytical exploration of social logic based on the evolutionary characteristics of female space.FindingsThe findings elucidate the evolutionary characteristics of the spatial configuration of female spaces in Korean vernacular houses, with differential changes in connectivity, a gradual tendency towards openness and simplicity and increased accessibility and centrality. This reflects the changing spatial needs of Korean women brought about by changes in lifestyle, consciousness, social status and family structure.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides perspectives and insights into the vernacular architecture and architectural sociology of ethnic minorities in regions of China and Asia. Furthermore, it can provide relevant construction organisations with a more intuitive understanding of Korean vernacular houses and a reference for future house renewal and construction in the Yanbian region.Originality/valueAlthough many studies have investigated various aspects of Korean vernacular houses and female spaces, none have examined the influence of social logical changes on the evolution of female spaces in Korean vernacular houses. Thus, this study is valuable and novel.

Abstract. Without a doubt 2020 will be remembered worldwide as the year of risk and emergency, in this case a health emergency, and of new communication technologies. When work began in 2018 on the organisation of “HERITAGE2020 (3DPast | RISK-Terra), International Conference on Vernacular Architecture in World Heritage Sites. Risks and New Technologies”, the new technologies applied to vernacular heritage and risk were on the rise, although nobody could have foreseen how central they would become to everyday life in 2020. “HERITAGE2020 (3DPast | RISK-Terra), International Conference on Vernacular Architecture in World Heritage Sites. Risks and New Technologies” is organised within the framework of two research projects. The first, “3D Past – Living and visiting European World Heritage” (2017–2020), was co-funded by the European Union as part of the Creative Europe Programme, led by Escola Superior Gallaecia (Portugal) in partnership with Universitat Politécnica de València (Spain) and Università degli Studi di Firenze (Italy). The main aim of this project has been to promote the inhabited vernacular heritage declared as World Heritage Sites in Europe by trying to promote its valorization through new technologies, both for local residents and potential visitors. Vernacular heritage, new communication technologies and heritage management for valorization and sustainable tourism are the central themes of this European project. In 2020, these issues have become even more important for the survival, understanding and valorization of heritage, particularly vernacular heritage, which today provides a solid opportunity for cultural and sustainable tourism, where these new technologies make it possible to reach a wider public in search of locations better suited to social distancing. The second project involved in this conference is “RISK-Terra. Earthen architecture in the Iberian Peninsula: study of natural, social and anthropic risks and strategies to improve resilience” (RTI2018-095302-B-I00) (2019–2021), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. This project is geared towards the conservation of earthen architecture in the Iberian Peninsula, both monumental and vernacular, which continues to be undervalued and barely recognized. The RISK-Terra project aims to provide scientific coverage of the study of natural threats (floods, earthquakes, climate change), social threats (abandonment, social discredit, demographic pressure, tourist development), and anthropic threats (neglect, lack of protection and maintenance), as well as the mechanisms for deterioration and dynamics and transformation (replacement, use of incompatible techniques and materials, etc.) to which architecture is exposed. The objective of the project is to establish strategies for conservation, intervention and rehabilitation which make it possible to prevent and mitigate possible damage through compatible actions and/or actions to increase resilience.As these two projects have major points of contact with potential for common reflection, their main themes have been combined in this Heritage2020 conference. The topics established for the conference are: vernacular architecture (study and cataloguing of vernacular architecture; conservation and restoration of vernacular architecture; urban studies on vernacular architecture; sustainability in vernacular architecture); new technologies applied to architectural and archaeological heritage (digital documentation and state-of-the-art developments; digital analysis in heritage; digital heritage related to social context; digital heritage solutions and best practices for dissemination); architectural heritage management (management and protection of UNESCO World Heritage Sites; social participation in heritage management; regulations and policies in heritage management; intangible heritage: the management of know-how and local building culture); risks in architectural heritage (studies of natural risks in architectural heritage; studies of social and anthropic risks in architectural heritage, preventive actions in order to improve resilience in architectural heritage; actions and strategies in post-disaster situations); earthen architectural heritage (study and cataloguing of earthen architectures; construction techniques that employ earth; sustainability mechanisms in vernacular earthen architectures; restoration and conservation of earthen architecture).The scientific committee was made up of 98 outstanding researchers from 29 countries from the five continents, specialists in the subjects proposed. All the contributions to the conference, both the abstracts and the final texts, were subjected to a strict peer-review evaluation system by the members of the scientific committee.Out of the over 300 proposals submitted, over 150 papers by 325 authors from 27 countries from the five continents were chosen for publication.

The focus of this contribution is on the importance of tropical architecture in the work of Leandro V. Locsin, in the context of post-WWII in Asia. Based in the Philippines, Locsin is immersed in the Christian tradition – the main religion of a country that was dominated by the Spanish crown from the mid 16th-century to 1898, and where the Catholic Church remains powerful across much of the archipelago today. Attention is focused on Locsin’s religious buildings and projects, where he succeeded in giving a new treatment to the tropical architecture of faith-based structures, through the integration of climate considerations and the reinterpretation of vernacular architecture of the Philippines.

Full textAbstract:
The mosque which was built in various regions in Indonesia has a variety of its uniqueness. People in Indonesia in general only see that people understand architecture in a mosque only as a domed building or apply Middle Eastern elements only. However, many mosques in Indonesia have applied various Vernaculars to their architectural applications and experienced significant changes to the concept and form of the building. This study aims to find the application of Vernacular facades to 4 mosques in Indonesia, namely the Great Mosque of West Sumatra, the Sunan Ampel Mosque, the Great Mosque of Central Java, and the Grand Mosque of K.H. Hasyim Asyari. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques based on journals and articles from the Internet and processed using tables in the form of variables with variables in the form of roofs and mosque wall ornaments. The results of this study are the application of vernacular roof architecture to the mosque in the form of modifications of the local form of each mosque that originates and the application of ornaments on the walls of the mosque which is an adaptation of the local architecture of the local area.

Keragaman bahasa, budaya, dan etnis tersebut telah melahirkan berbagai warisan budaya baik benda maupun non benda yang menjadikan ciri khas serta identitas bangsa Indonesia. Kabupaten Banyumas memiliki beragam kesenian tradisional yang potensial. Terjadinya perubahan secara terus menerus di bidang sosial budaya, yang dipengaruhi oleh pembaharuan di bidang ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi dan terbukanya informasi serta kemudahan dalam mengakses berbagai sumber, bisa menjadi ancaman dan tantangan tersendiri dalam mempertahankan budaya Banyumas tersebut. Untuk itu perlu adanya wadah, sebagai sarana untuk melestarikan dan mengembangkan kesenian tardisional dalam bentuk pusat kesenian tradisional Banyumas. Penerapan konsep Arsitektur neo vernacular menjadi pilihan dalam perancangan, bertujuan untuk memadukan unsur-unsur tradisional lokal dengan langgam modern. Hal ini mencerminkan bahwa budaya local/tradisional setempat mampu menyelesaikan masalah sosial budaya melalui pendekatan arsitektural. Kata kunci: Pusat Kesenian Tradisional, Arsitektur Neo vernacular Abstract Indonesia is the country with the largest population in Southeast Asia, which has a diversity of human resources and culture. This diversity of languages, cultures and ethnicities has given birth to various cultural heritages, both tangible and intangible, which are the characteristics and identity of the Indonesian nation. Banyumas Regency has a variety of potential traditional arts. The continuous changes in the socio-cultural field, which are influenced by innovations in the field of science, technology and the openness of information and ease of access to various sources, can be a threat and challenge in itself in maintaining the Banyumas culture. For this reason, there needs to be a forum, as a means to preserve and develop traditional arts in the form of a Banyumas traditional arts center. The application of the neo-vernacular architecture concept is an option in the design, aiming to combine local traditional elements with modern styles. This reflects that local/traditional culture is able to solve socio-cultural problems through an architectural approach. Keywords: Traditional Arts Center, Neo Vernacular Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Vernacular architecture constitutes a rich source of information and ancestral knowledge and could become a key resource for sustainable development. Its passive design strategies effectively respond to local climatic and weather conditions, using locally sourced materials for the construction of its supporting structures and enveloping elements, as well as spatial organization and the incorporation of a buffer area (courtyard) that optimize the use of renewable resources. This qualitative study analyzes a traditional housing typology with a central courtyard located in the Historic Center of Azogues, Ecuador. In situ monitoring was conducted to evaluate the case study’s interior thermal comfort in different building spaces. Using the open-source software Open Studio and EnergyPlus, a simulation model was built to assess the annual thermal performance of the house. Field records were used to verify the effectiveness of the strategies that responded to the location’s climatic conditions. The analysis of the passive strategies used in the selected house included natural ventilation, solar protection, and thermal insulation, which depended on various aspects of the building, such as its location, the internal space’s arrangement, and the design of openings (doors and windows), among others. The thermal simulations revealed that the traditional house located in the Historic Center of Azogues was well adapted to the local climate, although the interior thermal comfort was not entirely satisfactory.

As regionalism has become a politically and economically advantageous policy across much of Asia, vernacular popular music has concomitantly become an important arena for articulating and codifying shared regionalist sentiment. This article explores the reasons for the emergence of subnational regionalism within post-independence India, and its more recent resurgence since the 1990s, arguing that expansion and diversification of popular music (in combination with other media) industries have been central to these processes. Examining the case of the protest song “Nauchami Narayana” from the Uttarakhand Himalayas, the article then investigates how vernacular popular music can blend local signs of devotion and cultural identity in order to effect political change and articulate a space of regional belonging.

Full textAbstract:
Istanbul, strategically situated between Europe and Asia on the Bosphorus Peninsula, has served as a hub of political, religious, and artistic significance for over two millennia. The city is home to four distinct areas inscribed as the “Historical Areas of Istanbul” on the UNESCO World Heritage list: the Archaeological Park, the Süleymaniye Quarter with its iconic mosque complex and surrounding bazaars, the Zeyrek area centered around the Zeyrek Mosque, and the Theodosian land walls region, once home to the Blachernae Palace. Despite their historical and cultural value, these heritage sites face significant threats from population growth, industrial pollution, and unchecked urbanization. This paper focuses on the challenges confronting the vernacular wooden architecture of the Süleymaniye Quarter, an area where monumental structures often overshadow the more vulnerable civil architectural heritage. Although Istanbul’s city center has been free of serious conflicts for centuries, the Süleymaniye Quarter bears the appearance of a conflict zone, grappling with issues such as tourism pressures, urban development, neglect, and mismanagement. International guidelines suggest that reconstruction of historical centers is warranted only after wars or natural disasters. Yet, the Süleymaniye Quarter faces a gradual decline rooted in evolving legal regulations and urban policies. This paper seeks to uncover the underlying causes of decay in the area and explores how to address the social, cultural, and architectural deterioration that has emerged without the presence of an explicit conflict.The study is grounded in a comprehensive review of local research conducted over the past two decades, aimed at understanding the approaches taken to preserve the Süleymaniye Quarter. Additionally, site investigations have been conducted to assess the authenticity of the area’s architectural heritage, particularly as many vernacular buildings have been reconstructed over time rather than preserved in their original form. The analysis also incorporates the latest findings from the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality’s on-site evaluations. Preserving the invaluable heritage of the Süleymaniye District is a race against time. Situated in a seismically active region, Istanbul faces a high probability of a major earthquake within the next two decades. Protecting the district’s fragile wooden structures requires immediate action, not only to strengthen their physical resilience but also to address the social and economic vulnerabilities intensified by earthquakes, population pressures, industrial pollution, and uncontrolled urban growth.

Geographically located on the central coastal plain of Vietnam, with low, flat topography, Ha Tinh City has an urban architecture which interwoven closely with very characteristic rural areas. In 2017-2021, we conducted a research project on building a system of green architecture criteria and proposed architectural design solutions for sustainable small-scale housing in Ha Tinh City in the context of climate change. The research project has conducted surveys, interviews and measurements of climate data at 195 representative houses in 4 typical urban areas of the city. Based on very detailed survey results, combined with the traditional vernacular experience gained from local experts and residents, we have gradually analyzed and assessed the effects of climate change on houses and human activities, from which to build a set of criteria to guide people to build or renovate their homes in the direction of green vernacular architecture which is more sustainable and better adapt to climate change in Ha Tinh.

Central Tapanuli is known for many stunning tourist locations, mainly its stretch of beach so that it becomes a great potential as an area of tourism with adequate accommodation as well as resorts. Some problems in the design resort that attract the attention and interest of tourist to come, how to design space programs according to human needs in it, and how to design buildings that are responsive to local climate, cultural and social conditions. From these problems, it is intended to create resorts with a variety of recreational facilities, design inner spaces and outdoor spaces according to resorts needs and local wisdom, and can introduce local culture to foreign tourists through resort design. Therefore, the research conducted by collecting existing location information, literature studies, comparative studies, and field surveys. After doing each step above, the result obtained, namely the design of the Beachside Resort using vernacular architecture, which is applied to each form of resort building, ranging from hotel, restaurant, cottages, spa and sauna, and other supporting facilities, using the types of the Central Tapanuli household, combined with the application of “Dalihan Natolu”. By obtaining these result, it is expected to become tourism locations and become a positive response in bringing back the traditional architecture of Central Tapanuli.

Full textAbstract:
Central courtyards emerged in many civilizations of the world. Cyprus was no exception as courtyards formed important architectural features throughout the centuries in the residential architecture of the island. The erection of dwellings attached to each other, the need for a private outdoor protected space due to the introverted character of societies, as well as the climatic conditions, i.e. warm Mediterranean climate, led to a widespread use of the courtyard in nearly all traditional residences of the island in the last two centuries. Apart from vernacular architecture, courtyards appeared in earlier historic periods and, in some cases, they were found to be used in the residential architecture of more recent decades. This paper presents an analytical study of the social and environmental aspects of courtyards in the vernacular dwellings of Cyprus. The research underlines the role of the courtyard as an important social gathering area, as well as a microclimate regulator in the residences. Moreover, it highlights its bioclimatic significance in enhancing the integration of nature's elements into the design and overall architectural concept of the dwelling.

Abstract. Located in the northeastern part of China, the stretch of land named Liaoning is a region historically characterised by the convergence of multiple ethnicities and cultures. It used to be the northeastern boundary of central China with an array of military cities and fortresses intensively built for military defence. Unlike palaces and gentry residences, vernacular residences and urban tissue existing widely in historical towns are excluded in the national protection schedule and have thus experienced different levels of damages. They feature a paradox that the general city form is well preserved whilst architectural forms are changed to a large extent. Most vernacular buildings have endured centennial baptisms, as evidenced by their architectural layouts, structures, roofing, walls, decorations etc. As most historical Chinese cities are not renowned tourist destinations, they are faced with various threats and are on the verge of extinction. The threats include the departure of young residents, decay of historical architecture, insufficient financial and technical support for architectural renovation, improper modifications by residents and demolition of entire historical neighbourhoods. Such threats are widespread in Chinese historical cities which are struggling to survive. Prior to the implementation of professional interventions, the urban forms and vernacular architecture of such historical cities should be studied. Through on-site investigation and query of historical data, especially the historical satellite city maps of U.S. Geological Survey, this study analyses the current life conditions in the context of traditional architecture, reveals problems in the use of historical architecture, identifies potential threats and summarises the underlying reasons. Suggestions benefitting local architectural conservation are then put forward.

This article is the second part of the analysis of the author´s field research, which was conducted in Timor in May 2004 in Maubesi, and in June 2011 near Soe and Nikiniki and Kefamenanu. The paper focuses on the region of Central Timor, settled by the Atoni Meto people, who live in round houses built on the ground. The house form and materials utilised differ somewhat in the higher regions of Central Timor and the lower-lying Eastern parts of Central Timor. The aim of this article is to explore how such building materials are utilised and whether they are or can be integrated into local vernacular building traditions. New materials are often used to imitate the more traditional ones, often incorporating structural details from the older technology and traditional materials which are copied. In other cases, new materials lead to a change in the appearance and structure of vernacular buildings. New materials already influencing the building due to their different, new properties, and designs are devised to adapt to these changes, which in the end result in an altered building. It appears that the highland regions of Central Timor near Soe and Nikiniki use a more conservative house design while in the region around Kefamenanu modern materials are more present in vernacular architecture. The use of concrete and corrugated iron to build lopos (traditional granaries and community buildings) is striking and has produced a new version of the traditional lopo.

With the spread of Buddhism, cave temples, originated from India, were introduced to Central Asia via the Silk Road, and then to mainland China. This foreign religious architecture took root in China and completed the process of gradual Sinicisation. The worship space defines the core of the cave temples architectural space. This article takes the Yungang Grottoes as an example to explore the evolution of Buddhist worship spaces. Indian Buddhist architecture has produced two most basic forms of worship spaceright-hand space and prostration spacewhereas in Central Asia, Buddhist architecture has undergone great changes in style, but the basic prototype of the worship space is still composed of Indian Buddhist principles: it still follows the two worship spaces of right rotation and prostration. In the Yungang Grottoes, the two worship space have been influenced by both native India and Western Central Asia, combining with the characteristics of the Han Dynasty to develop and evolve.

Abstract A manuscript entitled Ongγod qar-a sakiγus-un teüke sudur bičig orosiba, written in the Classical Mongolian script, was acquired by Henning Haslund-Christensen in the Barga area of the Chakhar province of Inner Mongolia during the Royal Danish Geographical Society’s Central Asian Expedition (1938–1939). The text is currently preserved in the Royal Library of Copenhagen. Scholars who have previously worked with the source have characterised it as a secular chronicle on the origins of shamanism among the Chakhars or a Mongolian shamanistic manuskript, dating not later than the eighteenth century. The present article offers a detailed philological-historical analysis of the chronicle’s content and language as well as the historical circumstances of its discovery. Based on this analysis, the authors reconsider the source’s dating, re-evaluate the information included in the chronicle in the context of the political and cultural history of particular ethnic groups such as the Bargas, Solons and Uriankhais, and seek to prove that the text cannot be viewed as a source on Mongolian or Central Asian shamanism considered as a homogeneous religious system.

 Title: Culture of Tectonics Wologai – Ende, a Traditional House Constructed of Art Central Wologai Village, District Detusoko, Ancestral Heritage, Waeo – Ata Lio Under the Foothills of Lepembusu
 As a counterbalance to globalization in the field of architecture, an in-depth understanding of local architecture had been seen as an opportunity for a region to play an active role in the global era. One way to develop an understanding of local architecture is through the art of construction, or widely known as tectonics. The word architecture itself was known to derive from the word archi, which means master and tekton, which means woodworker (carpenter) or builder. Thus, the study of tectonics was important to understand how architects express their ideas through an integrated architectural - structural system. Unfortunately, profound research into this field has rarely been conducted so far. This study aims to an understanding of architectural tectonics in Wologai, Flores, Nusa Tenggara Timur. As one of the oldest village in Flores, the indigenuous people of Wologai had been known for surviving the pressures of the developing world whilst maintaining their unique culture that were reflected in their vernacular buildings. This study consists of the following steps: Firstly, to record how local builders built their architecture through observation and interviews. Secondly, to develop an understanding about architectural tectonics based on related literature. The last step was to analyse and formulate architectural tectonics of Wologai vernacular architecture.

Full textAbstract:
A new species of Diospyros, D. laoensis, from Nam Kading National Protected Area, central Laos, is described and illustrated. It morphologically resembles D. longipilosa of Thailand, D. martabanica of India and Southeast Asia, and D. xishuangbannaensis of China, but is distinguished by its adaxially glabrous midrib, shorter calyx lobes and shorter fruiting pedicel. DNA barcodes of the rbcL and matK regions, a vernacular name and preliminary conservation assessment are also provided. As the species is considered to be endemic to a restricted area which is under threat from deforestation, it is here suggested for assessment under the category of Endangered (EN) within the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
