520			_aTourist destinations holding sway, tend to promote a sensorial immersion in nature and idyllic appeal: A break from the demands and pressures of everyday work-life and rapid pace of production and consumption of urban life. This new trend has given birth to eco-tourism and its built manifestation - the eco-resorts. Eco-tourism is more conscious of the environment, while it provides the much- needed sense of peacefulness in nature. About three decades ago, sustainability was a novel direction in architecture, a matter of choice. Now, with climate-change, it is deemed imperative, actively pursued by businesses and governments alike. It is also well-known that vernacular systems of building had an innate sense of sustainable practices baked in. It is attributed to a local materials palette, frugal lifestyle and a respect for nature. The challenges of modern times present themselves as architects wrestle to bridge ecological concerns with human consumption attitudes, alongside market realities.
