CHAPTER 3 "SOCIO-CULTURAL FACTORS AND HOUSE FORM


“Dwelling defines home”
The space where human live is not just a structure but it means a lot more than that. The way how an occupant lives or utilize the space describe the settlement, orientation, placement, shape or form. Religion, culture, tradition, rituals, economy, society are considered to be as determining factors. Moreover they actually act as forces that shaped homes, villages, towns, community, cities.
These governing forces differ in act from place to place, even the same places have some differences within as per the passage of time. Such rules that have the least changes per time may considered as the characteristics of any community.
Among these different considerations, there is certain hierarchy developed. From the core of designing, from town, village, plotting to the placement of objects within a single plan, are placed according to that particular driving aspect.
Religion has been a dominant factor, likewise the clan system. The social hierarchy and the governing rules and regulations are the apparent molding forces.
