000011604 520__ $$2eng$$aThe landscape and topography of the Kashmir valley has resulted in settlement and house forms that are of an isolated kind. A particular way of life and building develops from this isolation and maximizes the use of local resources.This paper discusses the house form in terms of the above mentioned way of life, but particularly in terms of available local materials and the distribution of these materials through developed construction techniques into a structural system that is flexible and has the potential for seismic resistance. Key construction techniques like the ‘TAK’ and the ‘DAJJI DEWAR’, will be dealt with in detail, while derstanding their role within an overall construction system. Through this particular case study the paper will discuss the limitations of the modern method of structural analysis, and the extensions required for a better understanding of traditional structures and construction. It will discuss a need to regain confidence in traditional construction techniques, with their ability to respond to a structural requirement (seismic resistance in this case), while simultaneously responding to other issues such as local availability of material, climate etc. The paper will bring out the inclusive way in which traditional buildings deal with issues of structure, rather than viewing them in isolation
