The indigenous architecture is one of the most important sources of reference for truly sustainable construction methods, which take account of such diverse criteria as environmental, social, cultural, and economical. The indigenous people have a more open minded vision of the world regarding the relationship between man and nature and therefore, provide an invaluable contribution to a review on the concepts and principles of the current social and cultural paradigm of the modern society. They robustly protect their material culture following principles that are relevant to a sustainable architecture utilizing materials, techniques, systems and building procedures of low environmental impact.
