What is vernacular housing, today?


In the past, vernacular architecture was only type of housing in the world. We are talking about simple houses, usually built by own , using available materials, dont care about fashion and what is modern, it just has to ensure safety and defend from bad climate conditions... Just simple to have ´a roof above head´. Nowadays, because of developing new types of technologies,materials and products is more and more difficult find examples of vernacular architecture all over the world.. Does it exist still at all? Does exist ´contemporary vernacular architecture´?
