| Summary: | Vernacular Architecture of Chhattisgarh is characterised by climate, geography and locally available materials which are diverse in terms of their layouts, forms, building materials, method of construction and structural analysis. The objective is to investigate the materials, construction techniques, and built forms of various dwelling units in villages across Chhattisgarh using Passive Solar Architecture and Vastu Shastra principles. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not dwelling unit planning is based on common parameters and concepts of Passive Solar Architecture and Vastu Shastra. Analysis of case studies of vernacular architecture is included in the methodology along with the literature review and documentation for the same. The conclusions state that a few similar parameters and principles of Passive Solar Architecture and Vastu Shastra have been used in the design and construction of vernacular dwelling units, and that they can be beneficial if they are combined with modern practices through an innovative and holistic design approach. |
