With the growth and influence of technology and science, the impact of traditional customs and beliefs have started to fade away. When the field of house construction is considered, the impact of traditional beliefs have played a more significant role in Asian countries than in European countries. There are numerous concepts such as the Vastu Shastra, Feng Shui, and many more from across the globe. With the development of technology, one seems to have drifted apart from traditional methods and beliefs. The main objective of this research is to analyse Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui as different ideologies and then compare them to modern Sustainable Architecture using various parameters such as environmental damage, economic feasibility, and technological advancements.
