建筑地域性的差别主要原于气候、地貌、生态、自然资源等客观原因，以及社会的结构形态、人们的生活方式、风俗习惯、社会经济技术水平等主观因素。例如我国的汉族地区，不同地域的仿古门窗形式就不尽相同。我国西北一带气候比较干燥，年降雨量极少，屋顶排水量不大，故其传统建筑的屋顶形式多为屯顶，采用林秸抹泥做成。而长江中下游地区，每年春夏厂雨水不断，为了保护屋面和墙体，建筑的屋顶采用了青瓦铺设的较大坡度的弧线型出挑屋面形式，既保证了屋顶的排水，又保护了墙基。北欧地区冬天多雪，为了使屋顶荷载不至于积得太厚，建筑的屋顶多造得很尖。而夏季气候干燥炎执的中东则将窗子开得很小.尽量避免阳光辐射。
The main difference of regional architecture on climate, geomorphology, ecology, natural resources and other objective reasons, as well as the social structure, people's lifestyles, customs, social economic and technological level of subjective factors. For example, China's Han region, different regions of the antique door and window forms are not the same. China's northwest area climate is dry, the annual rainfall is few, roof drainage amount is small, so the traditional building roof form for top by Lin Tun, mud made of straw. The lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the annual spring and summer rain factory constantly, in order to protect the wall and roof, the roof of the building to the large slope of the laying of tiles arc type roof overhangs form, both to ensure the roof drainage, and protect the wall. Nordic winter snow, in order to make the roof load will not accumulate too thick, the roof of the building is much more sharp. The summer climate dry inflammation of the Middle East will open the window is very small. Try to avoid the sun radiation.
地貌、生态、自然资源的差异同样也会对建筑产生较大的影响。我国西南的山地建筑就是巧妙地利用地势的高低起伏变化，形成了高低不平、错落有致的建筑布局形势。而江南水乡小镇则是人们借以地势形成的小桥、流水人家的又一经典。我国的广东、广西、云南、贵州等地是潮湿多雨的省份，干栏式民居形式是最典型的传统生态建筑形式。当地盛产树木、竹子，木、竹构架是这些地区的主要建筑形式。
Geomorphology, ecology, natural resources differences will also have a greater impact on the building. China's southwest mountain building is the clever use of undulating terrain changes, the formation of the layout of the building, the situation of uneven well-proportioned. The Jiangnan Water Town is the people to form a small bridge, flowing people another classic. China's Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places are wet and rainy provinces, dry column residential style is the most typical form of traditional ecological architecture. Local rich trees, bamboo, wood, bamboo framework is the main building in these areas.
架起的房屋下部做储藏或养牲畜，中部住人，上部放置粮食，这样即充分利用了空间，又避免了虫害和地面潮湿侵人室内。同时门窗材料极易解决，这样便保证了当地的生态平衡和可持续发展。尼罗河两岸缺少良好的木材，那里的劳动者采用棕搁木、芦苇、纸草、粘土和土坯建造房屋。石头是埃及主要的资源，古王国时期就创造了让现代人都叹为观止的金字塔。一方水土养一方人，一方人创造了一方建筑。
Set up the lower part of the house to do storage or livestock, central living, the upper placement of food, so that the full use of space, but also to avoid pests and ground damp invasion of indoor. At the same time, the door and window material is easy to solve, thus ensuring the local ecological balance and sustainable development. The Nile lack of good timber, where workers use palm wood, reed, papyrus, clay and adobe. Stone is the main resource of Egypt, the ancient kingdom created a period of modern people are amazing Pyramid. One party of soil and water conservation, one party created a party building.
