Abstract	With climate change increasing the frequency and intensity of floods, India is one of the most flood-prone nations in the world. A potential answer to these problems is amphibious architecture, a design strategy that blends architecture and engineering to produce buildings that can adapt to the fluctuating water levels brought on by flooding or increasing sea levels. The historical context, difficulties and potential, design guidelines, and methods of amphibious architecture in India are all explored in this research paper. The paper explores the development of amphibious architecture in India, encompassing traditional and modern constructions, and assesses the benefits and drawbacks of this strategy. It finishes by underlining the significance of amphibious architecture in India and its potential to provide flood-resistant, adaptable, and sustainable structures that can endure the shifting water levels brought on by climate change.
