The communities have long been part of the Thar Desert ecosystem and have evolved specific strategies to live in harmony with its hostile environment. This culture has provided several miracle plants of immense food and medicinal value to modern civilisation. The ancient rural livelihood knowledge system reflects time-tested techno-scientific knowledge with a proven track record of sustainability, especially during natural hazards like drought and famines. In addition, several of the traditional skills of local communities in arts and crafts, music and instruments have made modern man aware of the art and techniques of sustainably utilising local biological resources and preserving their biodiversity along with using waste products of the forests, without harming the desert ecosystem. Traditional cultural and socio-religious values are fast dwindling under the impact of materialistic approach, industrialisation and development. This paper endeavours to illustrate the need to assist and propagate indigenous rural livelihood systems rather than mindlessly replace or abandon them as a result of state bureaucracies.

While the basic frame and methodology of the computer system remain unchanged, parts of it, such as the contents of data banks and static analysis modules can be replaced by modules suiting different construction systems.The time and cost of such a small system together with work spent on replacing several modules is less than that of the development of a large, general building design system and its maintenance.An algorithm to generate layout plans of flats and building sections composed of several flats is discussed. Two different examples of such small systems are presented.
