Built form of Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi): an evaluation from the climatic point of view
AbstractMany of the residential buildings and neighbourhoods of Old Delhi, built in 1648, were built according to indigenous, intuitive principles. Conservation of these old and often dilapidated buildings does not seem justified as individual structures since many of them do not possess extraordinary aesthetic or archeological value. But together, they seem to offer a more comfortable living environment compared to the ones offered by the modern residential neighbourhoods of Delhi. Thus, conservation of the traditional built form may be justified from the point of view of recognizing and promoting a built-form that is more functional, liveable and logical from climatic considerations compared to its modern counterparts. This paper attempts to explore the validity of this notion through empirical data and their analysis using the fundamental concepts of heat transfer.
