Many architectural projects around us demonstrate form. The form of the landscape is used for perception, and for guiding the design activity which is such a fundamental part of the discipline.
Materials accompanied with form are used to add character to site and they can determine specific operations on site.
Over centuries many places around the world have created vernacular landscapes this meaning that the landscape was constructed in response to actual needs and what was found on site. I.e. an area with lots of trees would develop a wooden vernacular.
What is the vernacular of the urban context within our cities? As designers we tend to create projects that contain imported or pre-fabricated materials. What is the vernacular of a city context and how can we offer the public an insight of why this technique of construction could be beneficial for the future?
