Abstract
Sustainable architecture is the application of principles that contribute in the evolution of building designs and processes that reduce the negative environmental effects of construction. When contemplating Jodhpur's vernacular architecture, it becomes clear that traditional construction methods correspond to basic green design principles such as using energy-efficient locally available materials and resources. Many traditional aspects of Jodhpur architecture can be easily incorporated into contemporary environments to provide a sustainable atmosphere and natural accompaniment. This study presents the scope of eco-friendly development of the city by using traditional construction techniques and materials, built forms, and fabric with a thorough analysis of the hot and dry climate of the area. It also encompasses the use of this local architecture to help create an energy- efficient thermal comfort zone in similar climatic conditions in any part of the world. This work is an attempt to reclaim the ideals about good architecture towards this setting, in not only terms of identifying the hot and arid climate but also in terms of producing a design philosophy relevant to the manner of living in a conventional city.
