The document discusses various architectural strategies for hot and dry climates. It provides examples of traditional and vernacular architecture from different regions that effectively address the climate through passive design. Some key strategies mentioned include using thick, insulated walls; limiting window openings; orienting buildings around central courtyards to promote cross ventilation; employing overhangs, pergolas and vegetation for shading; and designing roofs to slope towards courtyards to drain heat. Case studies examined include the traditional Bungha house from India and the modern Parekh House designed by Charles Correa.
This document discusses using earthbag construction techniques to build a home for construction workers. Earthbag construction is an inexpensive natural building method that uses sturdy sacks filled with sand or soil to form walls. Earthbag homes provide excellent insulation and are strong, protecting residents from weather elements while being stable, cool in summer and warm in winter. The document includes plans showing layouts for earthbag homes and auxiliary structures like sheds.

The design takes a cue from the
traditional Kerala architecture around
but introduces a gable to contain the
building edges.
The layout is largely informed by this,
keeping bedroom areas to a minimum
and giving over the living areas to an
open plan layout. The circulation
passage doubles up as access to the
heritage complex behind which
otherwise would get blocked with this
new construction.
