Abstract: Nature has been fundamental in influencing the design of traditional habitations across the globe. Climatological factors such as wind directions, sun path, precipitation, etc., play a vital role in the design of buildings for occupants and community comfort keeping the local lifestyles into account. This research aims to explore the impact of climatological parameters (solar geometry and wind patterns) on the design of vernacular settlements. This study particularly looks into orientation of streets and building units, materials, and building features. The study is based on real-time on-site fieldwork complemented with computational models.
