Good traditional practices in building construction practice are being ignored today and are looked down upon as the ‗houses of the poor‘. Many traditional built typologies have got erased in the course of time due to lack of support by expert and the government. There is an urgent need to establish that disaster resilient development are possible to build using available skills, techniques and materials that fulfill modern lifestyle and current aspiration. Due to changing aspirations, affordability and availability, RCC plus brick use in buildings is an increasing trend which form a large part of the rural and urban built environment of the India‘s north eastern state of Assam. This study aims to highlight the potential of indigenous building practices suitable for a disaster resilient development for the vulnerable state of Assam, very often distressed by natural disasters. |
