Abstract
Vernacular architecture is characterized by its reliance on needs, construction materials and traditions specific to its particular locality. It is a type of architecture which is indigenous to a specific time and place and not replicated from elsewhere. It is relatively energy efficient and sustainable. Providing a vital connection between humans and the environment in which they live. For this reason, they are unique to different places in the world, becoming even a means of reaffirming an identity. On the other hand, Contemporary architecture is a form of construction that embodies the various styles of building designs stemming from a wide range of influences. Clean lines, open spaces and a lack of fuss and ornament are the hallmarks of contemporary architecture. This paper discusses the vernacular architecture, vernacular materials and contemporary architecture based on available literature. The study finds that vernacular architecture can be integrated with contemporary needs taking stone as the vernacular material keeping sustainability as a priority.
