 VEDIC VILLAGE

1. TOPIC INTRODUCTION
‘Living and healing with the help of nature’ is the concept of ‘The Vedic Village’. In a
Vedic village, one can be rejuvenated, treated by Ayurvedic therapies, Ayurvedic food, yoga,
etc. Ayurvedic health resort is a resort having all the basic requirements of a resort and health
facilities like health therapies, gymnasium and fitness centre, yoga and meditation centre.

As long as we are not living in harmony with nature and our constitution,
we cannot expect ourselves to be really healed. Ayurveda gives us the
means

2. NEED OF PROJECT
Today, the problems we are facing are less physical and more psychological. We have more
dependable ways of sanitation, we are more civilized yet we are most ominous. We have set up
all the ways to be happy in the name of comfort but we have missed the real tang of life in this
run of time. Thus, it is the time to get rearward to the nature and find the solution in a lifelike
manner. ‘Go back to the roots’ is the today‘s mantra. We all need solutions for a healthy lifestyle
and no resolution can be sounder than the development of ‘Vedic Village’.

3. JUSTIFICATION
Architecturally we have missed the essence of vernacular architecture which was present in
premature years. We have lost the technologies which would go naturally without any human
interventions in it. The building development was then well produced that one need not make
efforts to cool or heat the building it would take place naturally. To revive these technologies
and take back the spatial and planning and designing this project is necessary in todays world.
This project will keep the vernacular architecture alive for upcoming generations.

4. AIM
The aim is to rediscover the lost architectural aesthetics of Vedic village and understand the
spatial needs of the Vedic village.

5. OBJECTIVE
5.1. To study history of the Vedic village around the historic periods and its development
by the time.
5.2. To study the cosmology of Ayurveda and Vedic Village. The source of the Vedas and
its implementation into our culture is an important subject to read. The origin of
Ayurveda and its basic idea that contributed to the origin will make us see the deep
insights of the Vedic Village.
5.3. To establish a relation between social, religious and medicinal aspects with the Vedic
Village, that would make us understand its effect on architectural design.
5.4. To study the evolution of Vedic Villages in a brief period of time. The evolution has
taken place according to the need of the time. In the first place, the Vedic Villages were
designed as a medical centre at present it has been narrowed down to the mere role of
rest and healing core.
6. SCOPE & LIMITATIONS
6.1. The scope of Vedic Village extends to getting a conceptual idea for the thesis.
6.2. The planning of Vedic Village will be a major role of treatment throughout the thesis.
6.3. Provision will be also traced by the landscape planning and planning of the site plans
accordingly as garden is a major role of Vedic village.
6.4. To develop landscaping in Vedic Village one needs to take in a rich knowledge of
medicinal plants and other plants for plantation, so my scope of the study will be
broadened to study of plants.
6.5. The detailed electrical and plumbing plans will be not included in thesis submissions,
due to lack of time.
