Traditional Architecture, Climate Responsive Building, Sustainable Construction
The traditional architecture of Kutch represents the social and cultural background of the region and its people. The climate responsive buildings were designed with emphasis on the human comfort which was largely accomplished through the use of locally available materials and sustainable construction techniques. Learning from tradition, which is a powerhouse of knowledge and wisdom of previous generations through the lessons of traditional building can be very powerful tool for improving the buildings of the future.
