Vietnamese Folk Architecture: Regional Architecture based on Climatic Adaptation

OVERVIEWFacing the challenges of an ever more globalized world of architectural convergence, studies of the regional architecture can serve as a refreshing counterpoint that brings essential insight and more down-to-earth perspective. The regionalism in architecture was reflected in many aspects, including the aspects of climatic adaptation in recent architecture research and implementations. This study takes the Vietnamese folk architecture as the research object and proceeds with in-depth research on the local climate and its influence on architectural characteristics, to understand the means of climatic adaptation, and provide an effective guideline for the development of Vietnamese contemporary architectural design.
