CHAP_3  Socio_Cultural Factors And House Form

The dwelling in which we live have made of different themes.People from different counteries and religion have different idea towards physical environment, which are change by time to time.Culture ,economic and ritual play important role.The house is not just a structure or shelter it has meaning alot and have different purposes.Climate also play important role,building and houses are great influenced by climate conditions.Climate ,material of construction and availability of construction technology decide the form of dwelling and mould the space.Culture is very important for the space,it linked to the way people use the space.In different cultures they use their houses in different ways.The language of house tells the way of life.Our behavior,our way of life,the house in which we live and how we use the it and how we use the things ,that make it easy to identify a house , city and culture which it belongs.

Chapter: # 3  Socio-cultural factors and house form

Religion, culture, tradition, rituals, economy, society are considered to be as determining factors in design of house  but availability of different materials in different areas according to their weather conditions, also play a important role in techniques and types of houses.

In this chapter the emphasis was on the layout of different houses according to their traditions and religions. Almost in all cultures and religions house play an essential part. In different cultures different types of houses form different forms of villages and towns.

Early Chinese and Japanese houses were planned in such a way so that the entrance, kitchen, or the toilet must never be placed on a north-east or south-west axis. Because of this, superb views would be ignored and faced by a toilet.

In my opinion:

Different climate conditions affect the type of construction and house type.

For e.g.:

In deserts there’s no soil found and the availability of water for construction is also a big issue due to these reasons construction type is different in this area. People prefer those types of construction in which less water and soil required. In deserts people prefer wood construction like “chouras” or conical roof structures, advantages of conical roof are less in weight, protect them from high winds and less is material and availability of material is easy. These roofs are usually covered by shrubs and grass.

In rural areas women also play an important part in construction, from the foundation to plaster women are involved in whole process. I have closely visited the construction techniques in rural areas of Pakistan, what I found is that women are more in construction.
