 AIM

Understanding the transitions in rural Indian building typology.

OBJECTIVE

To understand the nuances of traditional architecture rural context of a settlement. It is

expected that students will appreciate the traditional settlement patterns and building
typologies in rural contexts in terms of material, technology, form, user, space and
climate responsiveness. The students to familiarize with indigenous terminology. The
emphasis is on construction details as applicable to Indian climatic conditions. To induce
students to experiment with built and open spaces and will learn to deal and converse
with rural people and know their cultures and traditions.

 METHODOLOGY
A village of Haryana is selected in vicinity which represents the vernacular architecture style of
Haryana. It is divided into seven components for detailed study of various aspects ranging from
how the village was settled to functioning of village in present times.
The components are; Connectivity to the village at regional and local level, Geographical
background, Natural vegetation, Administration, Physical and Social Infrastructure, Socio-
Economic conditions and Existing Land use.
The Class was divided in these seven groups and were asked to conduct secondary resources study
through Census, Gazetteer, data from government websites and published studies to undertake the
village level studies.
The Village was divided into seven zones and the groups were required to conduct studies of same
components at the zone level.
Site visits were conducted to collect primary data. Sample survey of 150 households were
conducted to collect the primary data noting different attributes of the building. Each group has
filled information of at least 25 inventories. Inventory included attributes like; typology of
structure, family structure, property belongings, socio-economic status, infrastructure, building
type with age, material, spatial planning, architectural features, additions, alterations, number of
levels and the age of structure.
Detailed documentation of 14 properties, two in each group was done to understand the vernacular
style of construction. The whole information was collected in two ways: Village to Zone and Zone
to Village so that no information is missed out and fill proof data is generated.

ADMINISTRATION
INTRODUCTION

Rural administration is a complex and multi-dimensional subject

transcending traditional boundaries of academic disciplines and offers a
wide canvas for exchange of views between analysts and a whole range
of actors directly engaged with addressing concrete problems with
respect to public policy implementations, catalysts in facilitating enabling
environments for any development agenda as well as a variety of grass
root workers and beneficiaries involved with the processes of
development. The field is thus really broad and there are serious
difficulties in admitting boundaries to it.

Some of the obvious areas include: issues relevant to rural physical

and social infrastructure, agriculture, land reforms, rural
industrialization, provisioning of credit, appropriate research and
knowledge generation and their extensions to the field etc., and
appropriate public policies, schemes and programs with respect to all
these areas.

Village of Humayunpur is segregated between various castes and

religions which calls for different administrative and recreational
areas. These areas are located at the core of settled societies.

Conclusion:

In the village of Humayunpur, the age of properties ranges from 3 years to 100 years and above. The village is circa 250 years old. The
architectural elements thus seen in the village range from ancient to a more present-day novel.
On the basis of the surveying conducted, it has been found that 40 properties that have their roots engraved in the village about 100 years ago.
But the rate of growth in terms of infrastructure and buildings has shot drastically over the past 50 years. These houses are mainly located on one
of the primary roads connecting to the state highway that passes through the village. They have close proximity to johad 2. The village started to
grow from this point and now spreads over an area of 0.4km sq.
The next in majority, are the buildings that have come up recently, i.e., in the past 20 years. Few older buildings did undergo renovations or have
established new areas. A lesser area is occupied by properties that are 50-100 years old.
Thus, Humayunpur has a widely distributed age of properties. It sees a consequent wide variety of construction techniques from wooden girders
to RCC structures.

LAND USE
INTRODUCTION

Land use is the function or functions that humans apply to the land
available to them. The study of land use is the study of how the land
is managed, including how the natural world is adapted to human
needs. Land use involves the management and modification of
natural environment or wilderness into built environment such as
settlements and semi-natural habitats such as arable fields , pastures
and managed woods.

Importance of land use

Land use brings a meaning to the amount of land being generated

which would have a specific function for different human purposes.
The planning and of land use is primarily exercised by the local
government authorities. Land use planning is to manage the
development of land within its jurisdictions. In doing so, the
developer unit can plan for the needs of the individual, community
and business while safeguarding natural resources.

purposes.

67
 . CONCLUSION
As per our rural study, the above percentages of land use depict that still the
maximum percentage of land use is devoted to farms. This also tells us that
Humanyupur being a village has majority of its land devoted to agricultural
works. Also the second maximum usage of land is by the residential area.As
we can see that there are only 2% healthcare facilities available in this
village, but the educational area is at least 5% of the total landuse.The area
for administration includes police stations, panchayat etc. The community
area include the areas used by community for purposes like function,
gathering etc.The village has only 2 temples and that too on the outer areas.
Due to good connectivity, more number of commercial areas have emerged
in the village. Almost all the basic facilities are available in the commercial
areas present in the village.

INTRODUCTION

Humayunpur, a village whose heritage and culture has been passing on since ages, has houses taking new birth as well as the ones who have
seen the transition of the village from the beginning and are still standing upright. The village has houses and buildings of different ages.
Theses have been categorized in 4 different age groups-0-20 years,20-50 years,50-100 years, above 100 years old,

After doing the study we concluded that they have been many new constructions in the village as approx. 35% of the houses were up to 20
years old. The majority of the houses were between 20-50 years old. The percentage of houses which are above 100 years old is the least.
Many houses have just gone under renovation and some have been reconstructed as well.

To conclude with we can say that humayunpur has a variety of construction and houses to study and learn. We studied different construction
methods new as well as old. A village with vivid houses is what we can say of humayunpur.

 conclusion

A dazzling glare of sunshine caressed our face as we reached the village of 'Jatts',
Humayunpur lying near the Sonipat - Rohtak highway. A total land of 980 hectares
embodies natural features like good loamy soil, valuable crops and trees nurtured by water
bodies, indigenously called jhods. Amidst hot climate and moderate rainfall, the place
experiences a good amount of daylight hours originating healthy lifestyle. Moving on, we
met sarpanch of the village and lucubrated knowledge about it administration. The
sarpanch further filled in us with the obligation of higher authorities and the kind of help
they are provided with. A lot of villagers are engaged in agriculture and get helped with
funds by Zilla Parishad of the region. The total population of 3888, of which 1745 being
women, 79.44% are educated. The region takes care of people's religious, financial,
salubrious as well as educational needs. Being evidently accessible, the village holds an
impactful spot in the regional map. Virtually half of the land benefits the sustenance of
greenery and the rest is mostly involved in dwelling. A sloppy land with average sanitation
facilities has been the native place to the Jatts of Humayunpur. With the passing time,
most of the houses comprise of two floors with common materials like stone, brick,
concrete and mud. The village being very old, it still gives a home to many old havelis and
still an inspiration is drawn from them while construction.
The rural study has been very helpful for us both architecturally & culturally. It also drills
our minds with wisdom of small scale as well as vernacular architecture.
