Cultural Homogenization and the Decline of Vernacular Architecture: Challenges and Opportunities

Author(s) Mr. Ameed Inam Inam
Country India
Abstract Culture, through globalization, urbanization and technology, has had adverse effects on the vernacular in terms of its gradual extinction at various points in the world. Vernacular architecture articulates local culture, local climate, and local resources and reflects the identity of different regions in terms of sustainability. However, such architectural styles are steadily drowning with the increasing standardized architecture, always influenced globally, which disregard the traditional building practice and local material and aesthetic usage.
This article discusses the changes and trends affecting vernacular architectures wherein urbanization, poverty, aspirations for better socio-economic conditions, and neglect of governments are strong determinants. It also looks at culture-wide effects across the globe on architectural heritage and brings to the fore issues such as the loss of regional identity, challenges of the environment, and the disappearance of traditional handiwork. It pointed towards challenges and provided possibilities in reviving the vernacular architecture while it stresses the importance of using the traditional practice towards the modern urban development process in preserving the diversity of culture and durable architectural solutions.
Keywords Cultural homogenization, vernacular architecture, globalization of architecture, urbanization impacts, regional identity, sustainable architecture.
