Analyzing Vernacular Sustainable Design Principles- A Case Study of a Vernacular Dwelling in Godavari Region of Andhra Pradesh, India
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Hundreds of years of experience, self-learning and traditional wisdom has led to the development of contextual based traditional architecture. Vernacular style of architecture developed using locally available material, so as to achieve the better living conditions which suits to the context. Use of local traditional design and construction techniques had eventually helped in building of social and cultural background in various regions of the country. Sensitivity in design as per the specific microclimatic aspects has been practiced since ages in the country. The main objective of this paper is to understand the design principles and strategies followed by the vernacular style of architecture which are energy efficient and climate responsive. Design principles such as form, proportion, spatial design aspects, construction materials etc.., have been documented and analyzed for a specific case example of an existing traditional building in Pippara village of West-Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Besides thermal performance, lighting analysis have been performed through IES-VE Analysis. This paper also sheds light on the transformation of courtyard spatial configuration as per the changing needs of users; this investigation is an attempt to demonstrate the adoption of good practices in transformation of traditional spatial design aspects of the dwelling. Simulation results has shown that the current case study has improved thermal performance upto 30% after the courtyard transformation, whereas natural lighting levels has drastically reduced upto 79% within the indoor sapces.
