Abstract:
It is a significant challenge to provide houses meeting certain basic standard to
majority of the population, especially those who would not be able to raise
sufficient funds for construction activities. For such segment of the society, various
government sponsored schemes can be carried out generally with emphasis on
multi storey blocks when dealing with cities. However, providing houses for rural
population would need houses that could be constructed in a cost effective
manner with least impact on environment. This research describes such a solution
developed with housing consisting of a modular arrangement and also constructed
with alternative building materials and methods.
