Abstract: An in-depth study based on materials and construction techniques used in traditional architecture can make a contribution to the sustainability of modern architecture. In this paper we illustrate the traditional architecture of Burundi. This traditional architecture is known as the Rugo which means a housing complex. This traditional architecture of Burundi is recognized because it is built entirely of plant material and also recognized for its dome shape. In this paper we illustrates 2 case studies about the preservation of this historical legacy of the Rugo, the different stages of its construction and the building materials used. This paper aims to encourage the fusion of ancient and modern building materials and techniques for a better future with modern green buildings and a sustainable architecture.
