Chapter # 1: The Nature and Definition Of The Field

The Nature and Definition Of The Field

In the history of Architecture, Study of Monuments were one of the primary concerns of the people of the early ages. Development in architecture groomed by the time, cultures and traditions. That means it was developed by the people belonging to different regions, religion and cultures and traditions.

They were focused on traditions and culture because of which the environment was neglected somehow, not by the people but by the designers which result in the ignorance of vernacular matrix.

Vernacular architecture is mainly physical environment around a man i.e, nature but as environment was and is being ignored in the history of architecture, vernacular architecture is ignored in the same way. High style buildings, following the cultural and traditonal values are on the front line which headed up the ornamentation and by the time the paradiagm shifted, the approach changed and the cultural and traditional reflections were very dominant in the architecture which is taking hold on the environment. Which emphasize a particular segment of different people living in different era. As the particular segments of different people of different era were lined up, there was no certainity in the development of a particular culture. Due to which there is a variation in styles and pattrons.
