    Vernacular architecture of Roorkee developed organically based on local needs and materials. The early settlements had mud walls, thatch roofs, and open lawns as the British colony and factories were just being constructed. Villages used basic construction techniques like mud walls and small kilns with thatch roofs as the locals engaged in activities like jaggery production. Over time, the British introduced planned developments, bridges, and infrastructure like aqueducts to improve transportation of goods and manage resources like water supply across the expanding city.
