A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Abstract The traditional architecture could be one of the key issues for sustainable building design for different climates and cultures. They are well matched and adapted to the climates and cultures by using local building materials and techniques. However, traditional forms of architecture are decreasing dramatically, being replaced by artificial materials, modern designs and alien technology. We need strong policies and sound research to sustain the concepts and practicalities of traditional architecture. Thus, in this chapter, we will discuss the characteristic of the traditional vernacular houses in different climatic zones of Nepal.
