Vernacular Landscape: a Story from Saudi Arabia Fahad Alghamdi

A vernacular landscape is one that has naturally developed through the everyday use of a certain space. It reveals the relationship between humans and nature in a particular time in history and can be found in the interaction between human cultures, the built environment, and the natural environment. Over time, ordinary landscapes have evolved, in part because of development by human beings. These man-made changes resulted in new forms and patterns in the vernacular landscape.
