DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH

DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH

Development is improved human and ecological well-being expressed in such terms as:

vernacular architecture gain from developmental approach:

DesignAesthetictechnology

A developmental approach ask these questions:

Economic growth JobsBetter shelter HealthEcological sustainability

How is the vernacular influence by development process?How does it help achieve both a better environment and broader well-being?

A DEVELPMENTAL VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE

A developmental vernacular architecture uses The characteristics of vernacular architecture to achieve:

Better shelter and settlementBroader development objectives

It uses local cultural and material resources and it is: Small-scaleTechnologically Organizationally simple Inexpensive

It’s planning can be Controlled by local communitiesImplanted by local builders

It’s expresses the values and needs of local especially poorer

Cost-effectiveEconomically viableLabour intensiveJob-creatingLocal resource usingLocal income generatingRenewable resource using

This characteristics can make it:

It demonstrated continuity whit change:

Remaining rooted in the past and the local, while incorporating the new and the external to meet contemporary needs.

A DEVELPMENTAL VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE

From 1950 in India Laurie baker developed a vernacular based on Housing Settlement designConstruction practice

In the 1960 Dr Otto Koenigsberger (London) explored the developmental potential of vernacular architecture and it’s bioclimatic advantages.

1960 in to 1970 john C.Turner articulated the distinction between process and product.

In the 1970 the developmental workshop group formulated a comprehensive approach inEgypt , Oman and Iran.

In 1980 and in to 1990 the developmental approach continuous to be shaped by an increasing number of projects whit greater institutional support.

Uses of vernacular architecture in the developmental process

It can be explored whiten two developmental contexts:To help stem socioeconomic and physical decline caused by broader socioeconomic change.

To help meet the changing arising Aspirations of communities experiencing rapid Improvements in their socioeconomics condition.

developmental changes socioeconomic and physical decline of particular areas. Deterioration of the historic center of cities.

Environmental degradationNatural disaster

Uses of vernacular architecture in the developmental process

Deterioration of the historic center of cities:

•Rehabilitated and adapt to new uses appropriate To the new socioeconomic conditions.

•Selective vehicular access and pedestrianzation

• careful Rehabilitation of old buildings and the construction of new ones using vernacular styles, forms, techniques .

Environmental degradation:

Eroding organic material’s resource base:

Bamboo and timberIron sheet, concrete and steel

Uses of vernacular architecture in the developmental process

The developmental vernacular response:

Re-establish organic-material’s resource

Modify the vernacular to reduce the use of scarce materials

Replace vernacular whit other vernacular methods

Natural disaster:

Making buildings disaster-resistant:

By replacing the vernacular with expensive concrete and steel structures.By examining how the vernacular can be modified ,using improved traditional methods.

Uses of vernacular architecture in the developmental process

The challenge here is:

How the vernacular can be improved to offer more cost-effectivelyShelter , settlements and services that are at least that are comparable If not superior to “modern” alternatives.

A new urban area may develop whit existence of:

Strong urban traditionTransformable rural one

It's easier to promote a developmental vernacular in the rural context.

conclusion

Vernacular architecture develop where there is:

Strong traditionEffective programA supportive environment

Much of research and action focused on:

Finished productIt’s design technology

Neglected has been worked on the process of developing the rule of Sustainable vernacular including:

The role of modern sociocultural demandsAn appropriate building materials and construction IndustryAdequate organizational and financial methodsSportive policy environments

conclusion

A healthy developmental vernacular will be constantly evolving as condition around evolve, and as people continue to incorporate new designs, materials and technologies and financial and organization methods.

the ongoing challenge is to nurture it’s evolution and effectively guide it.
