EXPLORING VERNACULAR BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AS A NEW MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE: MRU TRIBE'S BUILDING FORM AS CASE STUDY

The building construction industry alone produces much amount of building wastage materials all over the world. Rapid economic growth promotes the physical development of the cit y to the peripheral area. For this, the manufacturing of construction materials needs more natural resources that threaten the environment and human existence. The primary reasons for the production of these bulk construction wastes are the demolition of old buildings and the effects of natural disasters on the environment. Besides the economic loss, the process obstructed achieving a sustainable built environment, particularly for developing countries. Recent developments in the building and construction professions have emphasized the adoption of environmentally friendly construction technologies as well as a study into the reusability of old, deteriorated building detritus. Many local markets have developed informally that involved the trading of recycling materials. The parties, seller, and buyer are broadly dealing for economic benefits, although it reduces the consumption of natural resources. Lack of institutional involvement and systematic exploration of the field restrict the growth of this most potential marketplace. The purpose of the study is to spell out the potentiality of building debris as alternative construction materials and bring forth the challenges of the current marketplace, moreover elaborate practical cases of how these materials have been using for construction to finishing purposes. The empirical studies and papers will be reviewed for a critical understanding of the potentiality of old materials from a methodological standpoint. Discussion with stakeholders, detailed observation, and the illustration of practical examples will help further exploration. Every year excessive use of natural resources for building construction pushes the world into destruction, while the findings could minimize this consumption and promote the trading of old building materials. Moreover, the uniqueness of the issue will inspire professionals to work with the possibilities of old building resources. According to the study, recycling building materials are not only beneficial for the economy but reduce natural resource consumption and assure environmental sustainability.
