AB Earth is the most basic construction material, indigenous to many parts of the world and interestingly, regionally diverse and distinct. Over the centuries, lack of understanding made its use in building obsolete. Fortunately, earth buildings, in the current, modern times have begun being recognised for their durability and sustainability.     In conserving the earth building tradition various methods are being adopted. While most efforts are being directed towards material understanding, extent of intervention and technical repairs, there is little insight into traditional habits that naturally conserved these buildings. Such aspects imbibe in conservation today, can make the practice better and simpler.
