CONCLUSION

The architecture of North East India relates to the socio-economic setup, the cultural identities and a good climatic responsiveness. A good number of climate responsive design features are revealed during the study of the housing forms including temperature control, enhancing natural ventilation, protection from natural calamities such as flood earthquakes etc. However certain features that lack in the traditional housing are mostly: fire proneness and termite infestation due to usage of non-treated bamboo and wood; lack of damp proofing and use of non-stabilized soil for construction too pose problems like dampness of walls and washouts during rainfall.

Once the construction and design community of North East are aware of the pros and cons of the traditional typologies, the advanced construction techniques can be meticulously clubbed alongside to nullify the problems and enhance the advantages, a modern yet sustainable architecture for the North East region can be effectively created. Currently, the local byelaws of North- East states do not have special provisions for the traditional housing in the respective states, neither they have special byelaws for the hilly regions and the restrictions of construction therein. In view of the varied advantages of the Traditional Housing in the various North Eastern states, the Governments need to frame local bye-laws that support the traditional houses of North East, and promote incentives to the inhabitants of these houses. The byelaws additionally need to incorporate the special treatments for locally available materials such as bamboo, timber etc. before usage in construction to make them effective for long run and also slate restrictions in built forms and typologies in the hilly terrain and flood prone areas
