Traditional architecture is a dynamic concept that has changed over the years addressing the many existing issues of housing in our society. It is the way of building a house using recognizable symbols of a particular culture of unique people in a special way. Thus, many people have fallen in love with traditional buildings owing to their special character, location, and history. Why Traditional Architecture? Still, vernacular architecture is a term that is used to group the various ways of building a house that uses locally available resources and materials to address the needs of the people. The use of local materials in construction will eventually reduce building costs, making traditional architecture an economical advantage option. But that notwithstanding, traditional architecture requires a high level of ethical commitment to the local people, their locations, cultures, and traditions. Fortunately, people have found out over the years the various ways to deal with extreme weather conditions. But, the influence of Western culture and the need to build an internationally acceptable construction style have led to a reduction in traditional building solutions.
