OBJECTIVES
TO STUDY THE HISTORY
01. AND EVOLUTION OF
ATHAGUDI TILE
• To get to know about the external barriers limiting the handmade tile.
LIMITATION !
• The study limited to the comparison of 3 tiles.
• Temporal Factors: The study is conducted within a specific timeframe, and changes
in technology, market conditions, or environmental regulations occurring after the
study period may not be fully considered.
• External Variables: External factors beyond the scope of this study, such as
government policies, economic conditions, or unforeseen events, may impact the
applicability of the findings.

Evolution of chettinad tile
The example of Chettinad in Tamil Nadu, where mansions are being
dismantled and their components sold separately, demonstrates how
this piecemeal existence can be a potential solution. By salvaging and
repurposing these components, their architectural beauty and historical
significance can be preserved while catering to diverse needs and
purposes.

Athangudi tiles favourable sustainability indicators in comparison to vitrified and cement tile. There
by stating that athangudi tile is
environmentally sustainable
economically feasible
socially viable
The study concludes that Athangudi tiles present a compelling case as a
sustainable flooring material in the specific context of Tamil Nadu. The synthesis
of cultural significance and positive sustainability indicators positions these
traditional tiles as a noteworthy alternative to widely used vitrified and cement
tiles. The integration of Athangudi tiles into contemporary construction practices
not only aligns with cultural preservation goals but also contributes to
sustainable building practices.
