Aim & Objective:
 Aim to achieve, is to bring down all the architectural turning
points to one single platform which have a major contribution
toward the making of today’s architecture in sustainability.
 and also to make a man feel that how far he has come in
terms of architecture from Nature.
 the relation of land use, environment, social behavior &
cultural aspect through the Ecovillage development project at
Naugarh, Siddharthnagar.
By this Project Aim I want to Achieve:
1. It helps me to understand How the life in an Ecovillage
function, the Architecture, thus, can respond to it.
2. To understand the volume, space & social behavior of human
from past then present & then future on a village development.
3. To make a present human perceive that where he started off,
where is he & where he might be.
Methodology:
1. Thesis Search.
2. Synopsis.
3. Introduction.
4. Research.
Scope of work:
 To make a Carbon Free living Community in form of village
where people can Come – Learn – Share & Earn.
 To make a Zero Waste Zone where people get all facilities
which tend them to Migrate to other City.
 Understanding the need or past Human requirements that
changed the architecture in such a dynamic way.

Sustainability: The term “sustainable development” first came
to prominence in the world Conservation Strategy (WCS) in
1980.
Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that
aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment
so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but
also for future generations.
Elements of sustainability
Environmental sustainability is the ability to maintain rates of
renewable resource harvest, pollution creation, and non-
renewable resource depletion that can be continued indefinitely
Economic sustainability is the ability to support a defined level
of economic production indefinitely
Social sustainability is the ability of a social system, such as a
country, to function at a defined level of social well being
indefinitely
Introduction:
ECO-VILLAGE: Ecovillages are urban or rural communities of
people who strive to integrate a supportive social environment
with a low-impact way of life. To achieve this, they integrate
various aspects of ecological design, permaculture, ecological
building, green production, alternative energy, community building
practices, and much more.
Ecovillages are living models of sustainability. They represent an
effective, accessible way to combat the degradation of our social,
ecological, and spiritual environments
Five Principles of EcoVillage:
1. Ecovillages are private citizens’ initiatives. They’re grassroots.
2. Ecovillagers value community living.
3. They are not overly dependent on government, corporate, or
other centralized sources for water, food, shelter, power, and
other basic necessities.
4. Ecovillagers have a strong sense of shared values, often
characterized in spiritual terms.
5. They often serve as research and demonstration sites. Many
offer educational experiences for others.

the ”Pali Canon”.Others suggest that the original site of
Kapilavastu is located 16 kilometres to the northwest,
