Guidelines for Implementation of Cost Effective Technologies in Housing

Ar. J. Jebaraj Samuel

Abstract: Man has always built with natural materials. Architecture today is dominated by cold hard, machine made building materials. While all previous attempts to replace these with a more plastic, environment- friendly material have resulted in a negation of the structural/technical dimension of Architecture, building with cost effective locally available materials offers the unique possibility of a innovation as well as saving in cost. Therefore cost effective design is important at every level of human life. The individual, urban and rural neighborhoods and whole nations shall adopt cost effective strategies for the development of our economy and environment.
