Much of the built environment in Islamic contexts facilitates the needs of eve ryday life. Self-built spaces are constructed by the community\, and schoo ls\, housing and streetscapes are reshaped by users to better meet the nee ds of local people. Settings for assembly are made\, adapted\, and reshape d. Investigations of these design practices will broaden our understanding of spatial needs and intentions. Twentieth-century architects borrowed li berally from regional materials and traditions\, winning awards for design s based on the work of master builders. We can question whether the vernac ular label is a useful categorization for localized traditions or the cont emporary revival of local practices. Why does vernacular design continue t o be presented as if it is less meaningful than institutionally guided and canonical projects\, or to be overlooked altogether? There are many ways to engage place-based design needs\, communal spaces\, and sites erected t o facilitate learning\, worship\, festivals\, ritual\, and daily life.
