Traditional Building Practices

Traditional building practices refer to time-tested, often region-specific construction techniques and materials used before the widespread adoption of modern industrial methods. These practices emphasize sustainability, local resources, and cultural heritage, such as adobe, timber framing, or stone masonry. They focus on durability, environmental harmony, and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
