Organic Stabilisers in Traditional Mud Homes of India
Abstract The richness of the traditional know-how in ancient India extends to the mud homes built during those times. They are exemplary examples of sustainability through simplicity relevant even today. If revived, they can be great tools to achieve the zero energy goal in mud construction; unfortunately, these methods are being altered or abandoned. Traditional recipes and natural additives used to achieve a durable mud home have survived the tests of time. This paper tries to throw light on some of these forgotten mud mixes that were used in India with specific case studies from the southern state of Kerala. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of re-introducing them into mainstream construction.
