Affordable and Sustainable Housing in Developing Counties by Using Vernacular Architecture

Due to the increase in human population, natural catastrophes, and war, global demand for housing has reached unprecedented levels, which is felt most acutely in developing nations, which have faced disproportionately high demand levels owing to their inherent fragility.
