Compressed Stabilised Earth Block (CSEB) is composed of a mix of soil, sand and water, stabilised with ~5% cement, and compressed manually. This technique aims to make extensive use of raw earth as the main building material, thereby utilizing low-cost, low-carbon, local materials and minimising the use of imported industrial building materials.
This architectural design studio will focus on the sensorial phenomenological aspects of architecture. Students will undergo the challenge of designing architectural spaces with unique ambiances-atmospheres through a sensitive understanding and use of elements like solid and void, scale and proportion, rhythm, color, light, sound and, air.
Arches, Vaults and Domes (AVD) have been used since millennia worldwide. With the developments of 20th century industrial building materials and methods such as steel and reinforced cement concrete, the knowledge of masonry vaulting has been all but lost.
This workshop is aimed at deepening the understanding of a sustainably integrated approach to planning, designing and building of human habitats. A series of interactive workshops and site visits based on the broad themes of planning and design, green building material, energy management, integrated water management and waste management.
Auroville Consulting designs training programs for groups of students and professionals around various aspects of sustainability. The programs contain a good mixture of theory and practice and can be planned throughout the year. The workshop duration typically is 1 to 14 days.
Exploring Auroville Architecture is developed by Auroville Consulting in cooperation with local experts in order to share our experience in architecture with the world outside. During the 3-day workshop participants will get to experience the various architectural expressions at Auroville and the learning that came during the building process.
Earth and bamboo are two materials which have been used together for a wide range of traditional construction techniques in Southeast Asia. They are locally abundant, affordable and with a very low carbon footprint. They are known to be materials of the people. They can be used for crude self-construction or can be engineered with high precision.
