Summary/Abstract: The article aims to reflect on the reinterpretation of the vernacular heritage and its use as a starting point in the specific situation of inserting new buildings and functions into an existing cultural landscape. The support of this reflection is constituted by the very recent experience of a student design workshop held in Cincșor, a Saxon village in Brașov county, Romania, between 18 and 22 November 2019, by some of the teachers and students from years 2 and 3 of the Architectural Conservation and Restoration Section from Sibiu, within the Faculty of Architecture of UAUIM.
