ABSTRACT: Due to rapid urbanization,the cities are becoming concrete jungles. To provide social habitat in surroundings, the integration of cultural aspects are important for healthy and quality environment. The research aims not only to achieve the above objective but also towards the approach on cultural influences in rural and urban housing. One of the best challenges in architecture and urban design is to integrate the prevailing cultural of a city or a town with the proposed built fabric. This helps within the interaction of individuals and study heritage is taken into account to be a physical expression of cultural diversity in an exceedingly long perspective, and it plots a nation's history; it shapes the nation's culture and provides stability and commonality at the community level. The level of integration would be ranging from area -use, user groups and footfall to transportation, built-form and post-design stratagies . This study focuses on incorporating “culture” united of the first parameters of rural and urban housing within the Indian context in keeping with the occupation (weavers). And analysis on the housing typologies of weavers in rural and how it can be implemented in urban context would be the main focus of study.
