Design Earth
To create innovative, sustainable and socially relevant structures using natural materials like bamboo, mud, stone etc.
Design Earth was a course in which we worked in a group to build structures with mud. This was an intense hands-on process. We traveled to different places to work and our clients varied from humans to animals.
Constructing a Wall
At Terrapin farms in Bangalore we built a wall, which was designed like shown.
I learnt in-detail process of making mud ready to use for building, working with bamboo(cutting, splitting and bending) to support mud.

Chicken Coops
Our other assignment at Terrapin farms was to create shelters for laying hens. In this case chickens were our clients. We studied their patterns, needs, behaviors and created earthen dome shaped coops for them.
BMS College, Bangalore
We worked with students from BMS college of Architecture, to build a structure in their campus.
