Auroville Earth Institute, Auroshilpam

At the dawn of this new millennium, our Mother Earth gave us two challenges:

• How to build with earth on a large scale, while respecting Nature?
• How to realize architecture full of light, suppleness, simplicity, imagination and beauty with a heavy and formless mud?

The Auroville Earth Institute, which was previously named the Auroville Building Centre/Earth Unit, attempts to fulfil these goals. The Auroville Earth Institute has government approval for the use of compressed stabilised earth blocks especially for disaster resistance.
