    Vernacular architecture refers to methods of construction that use locally available resources and traditions to address local needs, and tend to evolve over time to reflect the local environment, culture, and history. Examples discussed include the tepee of Native Americans, Arab tents, and Inuit igloos - all of which are light, modular structures built using local materials like wood, fabric, or snow to provide shelter for nomadic communities in different climates ranging from hot deserts to arctic conditions. Vernacular design aims for sustainable solutions that are well-suited to the cultural and geographical contexts in which they exist.
