However, is curious to find a well-established cultural expression ofvernacular architecture, even in

the simplest examples. The concept of the dwelling as an

ensemble of successive steps, inwhich the first component, eventhough basic, has possibilities ofimprovement, is a remarkable

response to the same existence ofthe native population. If accompanied by an economic

impulse and some organizationaldiscipline, the improvement ofthe dwellings will be relativelyeasy and economic.
