Description

Vernacular swiss architecture is a category of architecture based on local needs, construction materials and reflecting local traditions.
It tends to evolve over time to reflect the environmental, cultural, technological, economic, and historical context in which it exists. While often difficult to reconcile with regulatory and popular demands of the five factors mentioned, this kind of architecture still plays a role inarchitecture and design, especially in local branches.


Anyone is driving through the Emmental, amazed again and again: forest edges, slopes and in the village are old, wooden commercial buildings, residential and farm houses. Outstanding low hipped roofs, ornate gazebos and highly varied Bernese arches ("Ründine") give each house a distinctive appearance with a unique house character. Some of the wooden buildings are over 200 years old and has been sympathetically extended and maintained by many generations.
Residential and farm houses were always built with the materials that will bear the country. Im Emmental, a rich coniferous and deciduous forests area, the choice fell to the 20th century mainly on the wood. Was built up in the middle of the 19th century with no plan, broadly the knowledge and skill of the local carpenters. The economic system, but also the climate and the building materials used were important factors for different types of wood constructions.
