May it be construction, transportation, operations or living and earning, traditional practices of each of them were though time consuming but environment friendly and sustainable. This paper deals with an analytical study of naturally available sustainable building materials in India, their characteristics and how they are modified to be used in modern construction practices. The objective of the research is to work out on feasibility of use of traditional material in modern construction techniques.  Keywords: Topography, traditional materials, sustainable materials, climatic zones, responsive architecture, energy efficiencyCite this Article  Choudhary A, Thakur MS, Pandit R.K.
