    Topic: Revival of Vernacular Architecture in Earthquake-Prone Areas of Himachal Pradesh

    Introduction
    Himachal Pradesh, a region with rich cultural heritage and
    traditional architectural styles, faces frequent seismic activity
    due to its location in the Himalayan region. Vernacular
    architecture in this area, characterized by the use of locally
    available materials like stone, timber, and mud, inherently
    includes design features that provide flexibility and resilience
    against earthquakes. However, modern construction methods
    often neglect these sustainable practices, leading to vulnerable
    and unsustainable buildings

    Aim
    To study and revive traditional vernacular architecture
    techniques in earthquake-prone areas of Himachal Pradesh and
    integrate them with modern construction practices for
    improved seismic resilience
    Objectives
    Methodology
    1.Documentation of Vernacular Practices: Analyze existing
    1.Case Studies
    examples of traditional Himachali structures like Kath-Kuni
    1. Analyze earthquake-resistant traditional
    architecture and other indigenous techniques.

    2.Seismic Analysis: Study how traditional materials and

    3.Integration of Modern Techniques: Propose design solutions
    2.Material Analysis
    that combine traditional knowledge with modern earthquake-
    1. Study the properties of local materials like
    resistant technologies.
    Deodar wood, slate, and stone.
    4.Sustainability Focus: Promote the use of eco-friendly, locally

    5.Community Involvement: Involve local artisans and

    communities to ensure cultural continuity
    1. Use software to simulate seismic forces on

    •Develop a prototype for residential structures adaptable to the 4.Design Development
    local context. 1. Create a design prototype that merges

    climate
    Expected Outcome
    •A hybrid architectural model that ensures safety during
    earthquakes while retaining cultural and aesthetic elements of
    Himachali architecture.
    •A guidebook or framework for implementing vernacular
    architecture in other earthquake-prone regions.
    •Enhanced awareness among local communities and
    authorities about the value of traditional techniques.
