Summary:Vernacular architecture is an important part of our culture. It is simple, modest, but definitely effective. Science, on the other side, is not primitive, modest, nor simple. Vernacular architecture with its primitive methods is closer to science than we can imagine. The prime man understood that order is the most important, the order that could be found in quantities: line, plane and space. He also started to use first measure units: inch (finger), elbow, foot. The paper presents some examples of the use of proportion systems in architecture. Vernakularna arhitektura cini znacajan dio nase kulture. Ona je jednostavna i skromna, afi zasigurno svrhovita, za razliku od znanosti koja nije ni primitivna ni skromna ni jednostavna. Svojim primitivnim metodama daleko je bliza znanosti nego sto mozemo zamisliti. Primitivni Ijudi shvacali su da je red medu stvarima najvazniji, i to red izmedu velicina-pravca, ravnine i prostora. Poceli su uporabljati i prve mjerne jedinice: inc (palac), lakat, stopu. U ovom su clanku predstavljeni neki primjeri uporabe sustava proporcija u arhitekturi.
