The objectives of Local Architecture are to
1. Protect the region’s diverse natural materials and artisanal building crafts by celebrating their unique textures, colours, details, applications and origins, and by cultivating a consciousness of each as a resource to be treasured.
2. Revive and develop the architectural narrative of the community by preserving and promoting awareness of distinctive and culturally-significant buildings, by espousing sustainable characteristics of indigenous building typologies, and by upholding the legacy of (local) artisan building trades.
3. Explore the potentials in the building process by taking the time to appreciate the intrinsic beauty in its various methods and aesthetic manifestations, by honouring quality craftsmanship over speed of construction, and by educating the community through active involvement.
4. Demonstrate and encourage sustainable building practices through the (didactic) implementation of passive and active technologies to collect and utilize renewable energies, through the efficient use and responsible management of land and material resources, and through the fair treatment and remuneration of workers.
