Unit 2: Lessons from Vernacular
Lectures on concept of vernacular & lessons to be learnt. Detailed study of a vernacular settlement remarkable for its spatial quality, material, and construction technology, characteristic for that region & climate.

Course Objectives
- To understand the role of climate and environment as a context in shaping building design.
- To comprehend the interpretation of prescribed environmental directions / norms for a given place in building forms.
- Studying the vernacular architecture of varied climatic zones to examine their response to the existing conditions.
- Analysing the spatially rich vernacular architecture especially of the indian subcontinent to derive useful learnings for prevailing climate & region.
- The design studio should be linked with the simultaneous theory subject of vernacular architecture.
- Recognizing the relevant materials & building techniques suitable for that region & explore their applicability in design.
- Learn building on sloping sites or with unique topography.
- Field trips to relevant sites shall be compulsory for all assignments.
