Vernacular architecture is building done outside any academic tradition, and without professional guidance. It is not a particular architectural movement or style, but rather a broad category, encompassing a wide range and variety of building types, with differing methods of construction, from around the world, both historical and extant and classical and modern. Vernacular architecture constitutes 95% of the world's built environment, as estimated in 1995 by Amos Rapoport, as measured against the small percentage of new buildings every year designed by architects and built by engineers.

This type of architecture usually serves immediate, local needs, is constrained by the materials available in its particular region and reflects local traditions and cultural practices. The study of vernacular architecture does not examine formally schooled architects, but instead that of the design skills and tradition of local builders, who were rarely given any attribution for the work. More recently, vernacular architecture has been examined by designers and the building industry in an effort to be more energy conscious with contemporary design and construction—part of a broader interest in sustainable design.

``` ## Anatomy Import the component and assemble its parts: ```svelte title="Anatomy" ``` ## Examples ### Both scrollbars Use `` to prevent the scrollbars from intersecting. ```svelte
    {#each Array.from({ length: 100 }, (_, i) => i + 1) as n (n)}
  • {n}
    • {/each}
``` ### Gradient scroll fade Use the viewport overflow CSS variables to drive a CSS mask, which gradually increases the fade as the user scrolls away from the edges. ```css title="scroll-area.module.css" .Viewport { mask-image: linear-gradient( to bottom, transparent 0, black min(40px, var(--scroll-area-overflow-y-start)), black calc(100% - min(40px, var(--scroll-area-overflow-y-end, 40px))), transparent 100% ); mask-repeat: no-repeat; } ``` For SSR, a fallback can be used as part of the end-side `var()` call so the mask is visible before the overflow CSS variables hydrate. ```css title="SSR fallback" var(--scroll-area-overflow-y-end, 40px); ``` When the fade is applied to `` itself, the variables can be used directly. However, inheritance to children is disabled, so they must explicitly opt-in using the `inherit` keyword. ```css title="Child element opt-in" .Child { --scroll-area-overflow-y-start: inherit; --scroll-area-overflow-y-end: inherit; } ``` ```svelte

``` ### Combining with Tabs Use ``'s `render` snippet to render `` directly when the tab list itself needs the viewport overflow values for a mask fade. This keeps the mask logic on the same element that receives the scroll state. ```svelte title="Tabs with ScrollArea" {#snippet render(props, state, children)} {@render children?.()} {/snippet} Overview ... ``` ## API reference ### Root Groups all parts of the scroll area.
