description The article aims to investigate the influence of vernacular architecture on modern design, seeking to understand how the latter can integrate traditional principles and techniques to address contemporary challenges related to sustainability, cultural identity and energy efficiency.Methodology: The study was carried out through a comprehensive review of related scientific literature. Databases such as Scielo and Google Scholar were used, searching for relevant articles with terms such as “vernacular architecture” and “modern design”. The search process was conducted between August and September 2023, reviewing articles published between 2021 and 2023 and excluding less relevant manuscripts, resulting in a final corpus of four articles relevant to the review.Results: The results show that vernacular architecture has a significant influence on the sustainable housing model, especially in rural areas, by employing local materials and techniques that promote energy efficiency and climate adaptation. In Europe, its integration into modern design promotes the preservation of cultural traditions and fosters innovation by combining traditional practices with contemporary technologies. In Central America, this architecture helps strengthen the sense of belonging and improves the comfort of living spaces.Main Conclusions: Vernacular architecture is not only relevant to preserve cultural identity, but also offers practical and sustainable solutions that align with current needs. The fusion of traditional techniques with modern innovations can result in buildings that are more efficient and adapted to their surroundings, promoting an environmentally responsible approach. Through adaptation to local conditions and the use of available materials, vernacular architecture can serve as a model for developing housing solutions that respond to contemporary challenges.These conclusions highlight the importance of integrating lessons learned from vernacular architecture into modern design to improve the sustainability and functionality of our built spaces.
