REVIVING TRADITIONAL UZBEK ARCHITECTURE THROUGH MODERN ECO DESIGN APPROACHES

Abstract

This research explores the intersection of cultural heritage and sustainable design by analyzing how traditional Uzbek architecture can inform modern eco design strategies. The study focuses on the adaptation of vernacular materials such as mud brick, wood, and natural shading methods to contemporary sustainable construction practices. Using a comparative and analytical approach, the research identifies the inherent environmental efficiency of historical building methods and evaluates their compatibility with modern eco design technologies. Findings suggest that integrating traditional construction wisdom with modern materials and renewable systems offers a culturally relevant pathway for sustainable architecture in Uzbekistan. The study concludes that eco design rooted in heritage values can enhance both environmental performance and national identity in the context of Uzbekistan’s green economy strategy.
