Aurora Design Institute, Hyderabad Roll No: 20261AA014 Student Name: KARRI KALYAN Topic Title: MUD HOUSING Abstract: This study investigates whether conventional mud houses may offer a sustainable and healthful living environment even in the absence of the incorporation of contemporary technologies. Mud homes offer a distinctive fusion of traditional knowledge and organic materials, although modern architecture frequently highlights technological breakthroughs. The investigation looks at the several aspects of mud house living that affect people's health and welfare, such as air quality, psychological advantages, and temperature control. Through the examination of case studies from various areas, the study emphasizes the benefits that come with mud dwelling, including its capacity to produce a cozy and energy-efficient living environment. The study also looks into the drawbacks and difficulties that can arise with mud dwellings, like upkeep and durability. In the end, this study attempts to support a more comprehensive Introduction Background: One of the earliest types of building is mud dwelling, which has historically been utilized in areas with an abundance of earth resources. Natural ventilation and insulation are features of these homes that contribute to a cozy and healthful living space. Mud House is gaining traction again because of its advantages for the environment in a time when sustainability techniques are becoming more and more valued. But the needs of modern living have changed, and to match expectations, new technology must be integrated. Modern construction techniques, energy-efficient technologies, and reinforced mud combinations have made mud dwellings a feasible choice that offers a healthy lifestyle and sustainability. Aim The aim is to design a Mud Housing community without any electricity and modern technology Objectives To investigate the advantages of traditional mud houses for the environment and health. To investigate how contemporary technology may improve the robustness and practicality of mud homes. To examine how mud housing might enhance indoor air quality and control temperature for a better lifestyle. To look into how modern mud house uses energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy sources. to assess the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of mud construction in combination with modern building techniques. To put forth a plan for fusing contemporary technology with mud homes to accommodate modern living requirements. Scope & Need and Necessity of the Project Boundaries: This research will be confined to the rural areas of Karimnagar district, Telangana, India. It will focus on mud houses that have been constructed or renovated using modern technologies and techniques. The study will not include mud houses in urban areas or those that have not incorporated any modern elements. Justification: Mud housing, a traditional and sustainable building practice, has been gaining renewed attention in recent years. While mud houses are often associated with poverty and lack of amenities, this research aims to challenge that notion by demonstrating how modern technology can be integrated into mud housing to create healthy and comfortable living environments. By incorporating modern features such as insulation, ventilation, and water filtration, mud houses can be transformed into energy-efficient, hygienic, and aesthetically pleasing dwellings. This research will explore the various ways in which modern technology can enhance the health and well-being of residents living in mud houses, thereby promoting a sustainable and equitable lifestyle Target User Group Primary Users: 1. Residents: Individuals living in mud houses on the outskirts of the City. 2. Community leaders: Village heads, panchayat members, and other community representatives. 3. Government officials: Officials from relevant government departments, such as housing, rural development, and health. Secondary Users: 1. Researchers and academics: Scholars and researchers interested in sustainable architecture, rural development, and public health. 2. Architects and designers: Professionals involved in designing and constructing sustainable housing solutions. 3. Policymakers: Government officials and policymakers responsible for formulating housing policies and regulations. 4. Investors and funding agencies: Organizations interested in investing in sustainable housing projects and initiatives. Limitations 1. Mud housing may be less durable in extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall or flooding, without proper waterproofing. 2. The construction process can be time-consuming compared to conventional materials like concrete or brick. 3. Limited awareness and acceptance of mud housing in urban areas may hinder widespread adoption. 4. The availability of skilled labor for building and maintaining mud houses may be restricted in some regions. 5. Mud houses may require regular maintenance, especially in areas with fluctuating weather conditions. 6. Incorporating advanced technologies into traditional mud structures can increase initial construction costs.
