Abstract

This paper presents the climate responsive principles of architectural design evolved through time in the development of indigenous architecture. A scientific analysis of settlements at Leh (Ladakh) and Jaisalmer (Rajasthan) presents their appropriateness in terms of thermal performance. Principles of architectural design evolved in these settlements when applied to modern buildings, illustrated through two projects designed by the author, suggest how low energy architecture, that is, sustainable, can be developed in the modern context, basically by way of architectural design.
