Based on a literature analysis, this study evaluates and summarizes the current state of the art of autochthonous buildings and their contribution to a climate-responsive design of the building environment on a global and regional level. The use and the effect of green structures in outdoor spaces for climate adaption is analyzed in a focused way. According to various studies, autochthonous buildings are not only characterized by a responsible resource management, but also take into account a bioclimatic design doctrine through a sensitive integration into the geographical and topographical context. Furthermore, existing research gaps, especially for the regional context, will be identified and formulated on the basis of the literature evaluation. In Germany the scientific analysis of autochthonous buildings is still underrepresented and requires further research.
