regional style
Geographic design tradition
Regional style refers to distinctive characteristics in art, architecture, cuisine, or other cultural expressions that emerge from a particular geographic area.
These styles develop from local materials, climate, traditions, and history: The restaurant specializes in regional style barbecue from the Carolinas.
In design and architecture, regional style often emphasizes harmony with local landscape and building traditions rather than international trends.
