Human Perception Analysis of Adapting Vernacular Architectural Solutions in Urban Single Residences
Vernacular buildings and traditional knowledge about sustainability are getting extinct due to the global paradigm shift towards energy intensive building materials and design practices. The study focuses to identify and overcome shortcomings of traditional dwellings as it is so that it can be adopted as a sustainable housing solution for urban dwellers. Primary survey was conducted on urban residents through discussions and structured questionnaires which identified requirements from their houses in the context of modern lifestyle. This paper tries to provide solutions to overcome the limitations as perceived by the urban residents in order to increase the acceptability of vernacular considerations. The survey results indicate a lack of awareness about contemporary vernacular architecture among urban dwellers. It further explains the possibilities of adopting vernacular materials and techniques for a modern sustainable house while sufficing the requirements of urban lifestyle. Based on this study, design guidelines can be formulated for the new building constructions under various government housing schemes. The uniqueness of this study is that the bridge between existing neo-vernacular buildings and human perception has been proposed with sustainable solutions which will satisfy the client and the designer. This study will also bring an awareness among people about vernacular architecture and as they slowly start adapting the same we as a society, can regain the lost, knowledge, craftsmanship and identity of a place and head towards a sustainable society.
