  • Abstract:
  • This research, titled "Study of Earth-Based Construction: Exploring Ancient and Modern Innovation," delves into the evolution of earth-based construction, tracing its roots from biological inspirations like ant shelters to its modern applications through innovations such as CSEB and Rammed Earth Walls. Traditional techniques like adobe, rammed earth, and wattle and daub are explored for their cultural relevance, environmental benefits, and adaptation to contemporary construction needs. The study emphasizes the modernization of these methods, blending traditional wisdom with advanced technologies to promote sustainability and affordability in construction. A comparative cost analysis highlights the economic and ecological advantages of earth-based methods over cement-based construction, demonstrating their potential to reduce carbon footprints, conserve resources, and foster affordable housing solutions. By bridging historical practices with modern advancements, this research advocates for the revival of earth-based techniques in India, emphasizing their role in sustainable building practices while preserving cultural heritage.
