Abstract:
India is a country rich in cultural heritage. All these cultures depicts their significance as per the food cosines, their dressing clothes and the construction styles of that particular area. But in today’s world, as the population is constantly increasing, there is an abrupt and unexpected imbalance in nature and environment and are resulting in many hazards like global working, tsunami and many disasters. The materials provided to us by nature like air, water etc. are being affected and diluted with impurities. To overcome these impurities, it has become imperative for us to think in sustainable manner. The sustainability may vary as per the different areas having dissimilar climate zone, but is required to be considered for the coming future to survive. My focus through this paper is to highlight the necessity of Sustainable Designing in cold and dry climate in particular. Moreover, the strategies to be followed for a sustainable campus planning are also elaborated in detail.
