USE OF LOCAL MATERIAL IN

ARCHITECTURE:
MUD ARCHITECTURE
TITLE:-
Mud Architecture

INTRODUCTION:-
Architecture involves use of various different construction materials that
require a unique construction technique But most of these construction techniques are energy
techniques .Mud construction system is less energy intensive and very effective in different
climatic conditions. Mud is one of oldest building materials. It was easily available, cheap, and
strong and required only simple technology. A mixture of mud and water, is economical, practical,
functional and attractive. It is easy to work with, and it takes decoration as well. Mud is especially useful in
humid and hot climates. Mud is a natural building material that is found in easily. The mud architecture is a
great resource that focuses on architecture constructed of mud brick, rammed earth, compressed earth
block and other methods of construction. And also in solving environmental problems and problems related
to energy and other resources. Various reasons for using mud as a construction material. Mud is the only
one material fulfills all the criteria to near perfection which is healthy, durable, low energy consumption,
nature and low environmental impact for mining, transportation and construction. Mud brick was fast and
easy to built, as a modular and regular construction material.
Research Statement:-

- How to use in construction?

- What are the construction techniques?
- How the old types of mud buildings guide the modern architecture?
- If mud buildings are so self-efficiency and cheap why they are not use as buildings material?

Aim:-
- to study mud construction techniques and learn about the conceptual idea.
- Wall construction techniques:- Rammed earth, Cob construction, Composite and mud
construction.

Objectives:-
- Approach, Appearance and Semantics of Building.
- Planning and Architecture.
- Material and Construction Methods.
- study the details of mud architecture that can help improve its use.
Methodology:-
- Understanding the mud construction techniques.
- Preparing research questionnaire
- Identifying problems with the designing, methods, construction techniques and maintenance related
to mud architecture through those related case studies.
- Comparison between other construction material and their techniques.
- Doing case studies to understand the explorations
- Collecting data
