Learning from Regional Architecture: Sustainable Solutions in Traditional Portuguese Houses
Abstract Ever always, regional or vernacular architecture, whose empirical knowledge was transmitted from generation to generation, sought to obtain in its form and local construction technique the balance between nature and buildings. In the regional architecture, buildings reflect their adaptation to climate characteristics and geography. Using similar spatial forms organization and materials, families building their own homes people have created the harmony and integrity between buildings - the link was the popular culture that they used to follow and share. The paper will identify some principles from regional/vernacular architecture lessons that should guide practitioners and decision makers involved in the development of future sustainable buildings and environments. Using a case study of vernacular architecture of Portugal with unique geographical and cultural significant, the paper will seek to demonstrate the principles of vernacular design and technologies such as the traditional sustainable performance of housings and settlements in the study area. Based on a Portuguese case study of vernacular architecture, which represents the cultural identity of three important regions of the north of the country, the article intends to demonstrate the principles of vernacular construction techniques that explain the recognized sustainable performance of regional constructions and settlements in the study area.
