Has the development of vernacular architecture affected the human form? Or conversely, would the creative schemes planned influence the organic growth of humans, over a period of time?
Impact of function and form are varied and often individual, so vernacular begins to harmonize a region, culture, race and creeds habits into a recognizable shape. Obviously it could be the response of humans or the will of architects that create this typology, but in all instances, it should be clear that it has effect at all levels. From extensions to iconic, the processes balance existing and invented ideas.
Do you ever use items and think they are clearly badly designed? Existing commodities such as glasses or cups, being round, are ergonomically suited for the purpose, but their existence in cupboards is marred by the fact they are not. Easy to store. They clearly leave lots of 'dead space' making them in-efficient when not being used. Can this statement be made about what we do as architects. Are our designs great for a particular purpose and defunct 'out of hours'?
