This report of the VerSus project focuses on the analysis of vernacular heritage in Portugal, Spain, Italy, and France, with the aim to apply its contribution to sustainable architecture. The project has collected a series of images that illustrate fifteen principles and over one hundred environmental, socio-cultural, and socio-economic sustainable strategies. These principles and strategies are then applied to recent projects in each country to inspire architects and project designers to incorporate these sustainable strategies into their designs.

This book presents a new approach to the preservation of historic timber structures based on the Principles for the Preservation of Historic Timber Structures adopted by ICOMOS. It provides an ecological and environmentally responsible guide to preservation, founded on respect for traditional crafts and building traditions. The authors emphasize the importance of preserving the craft techniques and knowledge involved in the construction of timber structures, as they are integral to the preservation of the structures themselves.
