Figure-1: Map showing the location of the Zero Carbon Culture Centre in Makli. The unique location of the centre amidst a peri-urban site shows the dynamic nature of the centre. Source: Google maps, accessed on 31/03-2024 Keeping in mind this intricate relationship between the built environment and its people, this research inquiry explores how existing local dwelling archetypes in the highlighted regions of Sindh and Balochistan, utilize relevant vernacular passive design strategies within these dwellings and their ayouts as the research methodology. The case studies that are presented in this paper look into the vernacular response o harsh climatic conditions as a derivation from the oral traditions of the local community of the afflicted areas The Zero Carbon Culture Centre (map shown in Figure | below), also known as the Makli Complex, is a pioneering initiative by Architect Yasmin Lari that intends to highlight he vernacular and social culture of Makli and its inhabitants Lari, 2015). One of the main reasons why this case study has been selected for perusal is because of its geographical ocation and architectural response as per the site context. The culmination of the entire built semantics in the form of he Makli Foundation is a prime example of inclusive architecture that is geared towards safeguarding yet integrating the people from the prevalent and foreboding environmental concerns of the region that are a by-product
