Changing Language of Tribal Culture by Contemporary Architecture Study of Bhilalas

Ishan Natu

Abstract: The world is witnessing the repercussions of globalization. Consequently, the vernacular form of architecture is rapidly being replaced with new industrial materials such as steel and concrete. It has been observed that when building fails to meet the basic requirements of contemporary standards, conflicts arises. There is a need to increase physical sustainability, restore the buildings cultural character with community partnership and tradition knowledge. Up gradation and adaptive use of locally available material should be encouraged. This topic is to enhance as well as sustain the features & architectural characteristics of the tribal livelihood. It shall happen by fusion of modernism with the orthodox techniques done in the tribal belt of central India by Bhilalas which would sustain the bygone civilization which has survived independently for generations.
