Abstract 

Today our world is suffering from the lack of resources to meet the need of its inhabitant’s continuous demand. To meet this demand it is important to look for sustainable mediums or processes to attain the need. Architecture, like any other practices, is struggling with scarcity of resources and the manmade disproportionate distribution of it. In this situation individuals came up with the idea of adhocism. There is another approach in architecture pioneered by Kenneth Frampton, termed as critical regionalism. This approach addresses the problems and demands locally and globally with the resources available locally. In the sense of vernacular architecture it strives to counter the placelessness and achieve more humane architecture by addressing its local context, topography, and culture that too has a dialogue with the global stand. It is a progressive approach to design that seeks to mediate between global and local languages of architecture, driven by local forces that ensures optimum use of resources. Thus the intention of this paper is to find out what are the guidelines for making the built form to address the scarcity of resources.
