| Sumario: | [EN] The increase in the world population and Climate Change already represent two of the most important challenges that humanity has faced throughout its history. In this sense, the human settlements of the future must find a way to solve the problems derived from these challenges while guaranteeing the development of the communities and the well-being of their inhabitants. Given the global awareness of the need to propose new forms of development, architecture and urbanism have worked on different models of change that can respond to the needs of humanity on a planet of finite resources. Vernacular architecture and its settlements have become a source of knowledge and a lesson in sustainability when facing the challenges of the future. Its ways of life and its principles emerge as teachings to incorporate into contemporary architecture in relation to the four axes of sustainability: environmental, economic, social and cultural sustainability. |
