Abstract

As a form of cultural expression, vernacular heritage has the advantage of constituting a pragmatic testimony of the main subsisting activities and their geographical relation, balancing the focus within the social relationship of their community groups. The resulting building environment comprises the natural resources management, the adaptation to the climate and to the environment conditions, and the inhabitant’s technological knowledge. Vernacular architecture emerges from the synthesis of these conditions. When recognised as a heritage asset, its morphology becomes the fundamental material statement of the community’s values, representing their main traditions and stating its collective memory. The contribution describes the approach of material statement recognition throughout morphologic interpretation that was applied in the 3DPAST research.
