Concrete Based Reinterpitation of Traditional Structure.

Abstract

Recent climatic calamities in mountainous zones of unregulated and non-scientific expansion have heightened the necessity for towns and cities to be naturally robust. In vulnerable urban hill communities, there is a need for creativity, knowledge, and education to foster a culture of safety and resilience. The protection of loss of lives and properties as a consequence of climate change, as well as the establishment of a governance structure for disaster prevention and adaptation, are important areas where architects and planners may help. The research region is seismically part of the vast Himalayan earthquake band. Natural dangers like as earthquakes, landslides, heavy rains, cyclones, and dam collapses are common in this area. The massive landslide and cloud bursting, on the other hand, are the most dangerous threats. To show the level of existing resilience, the project will conduct a comprehensive assessment of a few villages in the mountain range of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. This will aid in determining the most suitable techniques and activities for improving the current situation, as well as revealing the most acceptable conventional methods for surviving calamities in the history. Via environmentally sustainable design and construction techniques, the paper investigates the settlement zones in connection to catastrophe preparation. The main objective of this report is to promote catastrophe prevention and rehabilitation, as well as supporting communities, via preparation and prompt reaction. This study will also help to create sustainable infrastructure in Himalayan region, reducing losses in the society and the environment domains in a structured and methodical manner.
