ensure communication (proper identification and processing taking into account the most common languages of the incomers)
provide immediate aid when it is needed (medical, psychological etc)
enforce distribution services according to each group of people
take into account and benefit from the incomers’ potential there will be no need for long-term accommodation.

vernacular architecture
Orientation
buildings and settlements tend to have a S or SE orientation to utilize the sun
Often, the position of individual building volumes is such as to create shady spots, sun-protected during summer period.

Openings
small windows facing northfor lighting and ventilation andthermal insulation (reduction of
thermal losses)
main façade and biggest openings usually facing South

vernacular architecture
Walls
ground floor/ Stone walls 60-80 cm thick ensure a proper insulation (mild temperature variations)
upper floor/ light Wooden walls 15 cm thickseismic design (lighter structure)
vernacular architecture
Terraces and pergolas protect external walls from overheating.
Overhanging volumes (sachnisi) with large openings provide proper natural lighting and ventilation.
Sheltered semi-outdoor spaces (chagiati), galleries
Arcades cool pleasant areas during summer sheltered space with sufficient light during winter.
