    CONSTRUCTION TYPES
    Architectural typologies have developed in the North East as factors of tradition ,
    climate and functionality. Thematerials used are locally available materials like
    bamboo, cane, cane leaves, mud, and lime. Of late, bricks. stone chips,rock slabs,
    surkhi etc. are also being used. Sloping roofs are a common architectural feature in
    all the architecturaltypologies because of high rainfall in the North East.According to
    the materials used and the type of construction, thetraditional houses of North East
    India can be broadly classified as
    ❑KUTCHHA HOUSES:-
    These houses are essentially made from
    organic renewable resources such as
    bamboo, mud, grass, straw, cane leaves,cane
    etc. The plinth and the foundation consists
    of consolidated earth with timber or
    bamboo posts, the walls consist of bamboo
    mats, split bamboo
    framing, grass, earth, cane leaves
    etc., and the roof is thatched,
    made of wheat or maizestraws, with split
    bamboo framing. The 'kutchha houses' have
    got different forms in North East due to micro
    climaticdifferences and cultural beliefs.
    BAMBOO AND WOODEN KUTCHHA HOUSE:-
    this type of traditional kutchha houses are seen in the plains of nearly all states of
    north-east with very small changes
    as per local climates. Materials used are mostly: bamboo posts driven into grounds, b
    amboo trusses for sloped roofs,thatches for roof covering, and bamboo matting for
    flooring and walls. (Figure 1) Sometimes mud plaster is used overwalls mixed with
    cow dung. In areas with cloudy and cold climates such as Arunachal pradesh, the
    walls are made ofwood or stone masonry to retain inside heat
    These types of houses are mostly rectangular in shapes with mostly three or four rooms.
    The plans and sizes vary as perrequirements with linear planning, rooms opening into
    one another.
    Typical layout of a house consists of
    Sora Ghar,
    Huwa Ghar
    Randhani Ghar.
    The Sora Ghar or the drawing room is a public space for gathering, or meeting
    relativesor visitors. This room also houses the 'Dhenki' or the pounding machine. This
    room has a common central fireplace called'Jui Hali', over which hanging platforms are
    kept for storing household items. TheHuwa Ghar or the bedroom is a partitioned space
    depending on the number of married sons and family members. The last room is
    the Randhoni Ghar or the kitchen space, which serves as the dining area for the family.

    CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS:-
    Construction materials are bamboo posts and horizontal members, with wall infill of with
    bamboo splits of sizes between15 to 40 mm, called as 'kami' in the local language. Mud plaster
    with a mixture of cow dung is generally applied over thewalls. The plinth is generally made of
    rammed earth with mud plaster. (Figure 4, 5 and 6) However, frequent maintenanceis required
    for mud plaster due to shrinkage and cracking in the summer and washes out in the rainy
    seasons. The woodenhouses in Arunachal Pradesh require less maintenance in comparison.

    STILTED KUTCCHA HOUSES :-
    The stilted kutccha houses or 'chang' is a typology seen in areas of high precipitation and
    moisture content both in the airand the soil. Construction is done mostly with bamboo or
    wood and thatch for roofs. These types of houses are prominently seen in states of
    Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.

    HIGH PITCHED ROOF KUTCCHA HOUSES:-
    These types of houses are characterized with a double pitched roof with high fronts and low
    backs (Figure 14 and 15).Buildings of this typology are seen mostly in Nagaland. Some other
    states like Mizoram, Tripura, Assam, Sikkim andArunachal Pradesh, too have these types of
    houses with slight changes attributed to the individual tribal identities.Materials used for
    construction are mostly timber or bamboo for structural elements, weaved bamboo sheets
    for wallinginfill, and thatch for roofing
