• The small village that is wealthy in terms

of natural outline and the surroundings
also have a certain divisible amount of
cons within particular edges .
• Is a naturally encircled space within the
gradual terrain of mountains sloping
downwards.
• Such geographical factors result in the
accumulation of water within the area
leading to a considerable increase in
ground water level.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESS POTENTIALS

The panchayat discusses
issues of water, sanitation,
agricultural problems and
other such social and welfare
issues.
The primary road was made up
of stones only so it may get
affected by rainfall as it has a

which has been used by the
people to celebrate different

Adopting a “building within a building”

concept as a response to the extreme
hot semi-arid climate of Dharmapuri
in Southern India, the Primary
healthcare center is a high-quality
outpatient healthcare facility that
intends to serve a group of agricultural
villages in the vicinity.

Rubble stones are used to build retaining

The project also employs, rainwater harvesting and ground Movable thatch panels
water recharging and drip irrigation. This uses the aromatic vetiver grass thatch mats as infill. A simple drip
irrigation pipe is used to wet the panels in the hot dry summer; lowering
temperatures and humidifying air passing into the interior by evaporative
cooling.
The panels can be opened or
closed depending on the
degree of climatic protection
required for the interior. The

CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES
•Although most members today are educated or
trained in various occupations, they have
maintained their inherent talent and skill to work
and build with wood.

•In this way, a significant part of the capital cost

invested into the building remains in the
community.

•With the entire community’s direct involvement

in the plan, program, design, finance, and
eventually, construction, these projects become
symbols of achievement and pride and remain
well cared for.

•The construction was carried out by about 50

band members, under professional supervision.

•This was done on-site before assembly and

erection by predominantly band labour .
 MATERIALS

Wood materials used on the project included:

1. GLULAM :columns and beams

2. PARALLAM, MICROLAM: timber strand

and I joists;

3. DOUGLAS FIR :T&G decking, plywood,

standard framing lumber;

4. MIXED HEMLOCK, SPRUCE AND FIR:

laminated siding boards;

5. VERTICAL GRAIN DOUGLAS FIR:

windows and doors; and

6. CUSTOM MILLWORK FEATURING RED

 CHALLENGES THEY OVERCAME
•The design and construction of the facility successfully
overcame significantly more than the usual amount of
inherent challenges, namely:
1. Difficult and environmentally sensitive site

2. Designing structure for erection “in the air” with limited

ground support (without disturbing the ground vegetation
throughout construction)

3. Limited and fixed budget

4. Meeting all building code regulations with practically

100% wood solutions

5. Combination of Health centre, assembly and

administration programs

6. Meeting complexities of requirements from a multitude of

Federal and Provincial Government regulators and
approving agencies, with energy efficient and
environmentally sustainable solutions.
 PROJECT OVERVIEW

• To preserve its natural setting, located just outside Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, the Tseshaht
Tribal Multiplex and Health Centre’s design elevates its heavy-timber structure and follows the
contours and outlines of the rocky bluff below.

• Cantilevering the wood structure over the Somass River’s edge doesn’t just make it appear to float, it
allows for the concealment of the large services and equipment underneath the floor.

• All of the small service distribution networks are incorporated within the roof assembly between the
exposed ceilings and the surface of the roof.

• The facility fulfills community, health, cultural, commercial, and social functions.

available locally, and there’s no need
for highly specialized workers.

• An eye on sustainability, right from the

construction phase.
THEIR POINT OF VIEW: We were fascinated by the idea of giving back some dignity to
this technique, using the excavated land to build the load-bearing walls with the
rammed earth technique.
 PROJECT OVERVIEW
On the shore of Lake Victoria, a pediatric hospital seeks to provide medical care to young residents of
the area while serving as a center for the training of local physicians and nurses.

Equipped with three operating rooms and eighty beds, the hospital was built with traditional techniques
to address the scarcity of resources, but with a sophisticated design that makes it efficient and
sustainable.

The different pavilions are executed with mud walls guaranteeing adequate hygrothermal conditions,
and their lightweight roofs feature solar panels which enable the buildings to function self-sufficiently.
 TERMINOLOGIES

2. census:-an official count or survey carried by government
3. Attic dormer: A dormer is a roofed structure, often containing a window, that projects vertically beyond the
