Architecture and Design, whether developing ideas in creative process or implementing projects, are not out from the emerging challenges that involve people and environmental well-being. Created by its own community in a specific place, vernacular design is a fundamental identity expression of these individuals, their relationship with its territory and, at the same time, the cultural diversity of the world. This article express the importance of vernacular for essential sustainability issues, specifically related to future critical scenarios of water consumption in small scale food self-production. Moreover, this research will illustrate these important topics throughout the exhibition “Prato do Que” (2019), developed by Museum of Tomorrow, with the Laboratório de Investigação em Livre Desenho (LILD - Brasil) and Universidad del Bío-Bío, Chile.
