ABSTRACT
A variety of architectural buildings concepts were created in aim to satisfy the conditions of comfort, throughout time and locations. Vernacular buildings’ solutions relied on climate, geographical location, available building materials, as well as the culture and habits of specific human groups. The main characteristic of such based approaches was integrity of new and given environment. This means that builders, treated a building as a whole, and at the same time had a holistic approach to a unique composition of human settlements. The quality of vernacular, traditional buildings’ solutions, both in functional and aesthetic, as well as in structural terms has reached a stunning level. Today’s contemporary, conventional architectural engineering practice consists of a number of sequences, divided into numerous fragmented sub-phases, which further complicates the understanding of the building as a whole. So if fragmentation is the issue, then the answer lies in the (re)unification of the entire process.
