Quote:

"La mejor arquitectura no se ve, se siente."

Architectura Vernacula: (from the greek for local or autoctonous.) Del lugar o autoctona

"Es decir, que del mismo lugar debe surgir el diseño, dictado en primer instancia por las condiciones naturales y particulares del sitio, la topografía, condiciones del clima, luz, orientación del sol, en fin respetando el entorno ambiental" Etienne Dusart.
