Location: Bir, Himachal Pradesh
Year: June 2015
Office: Dharamalaya Institute
This is an amalgamation of the sustainable living workshop along with the documentation done at Dharmalaya institute for compassionate living near Bir, Himachal Pradesh. It attempts to give an insight into on site explorations along with the techniques that an individual deals while making the built form at various stages of its constructi on.
An architecture that is closer to the people, the environment and the resources of a place and the one that works with natural building materials and techniques which are found locally to the site is eco-friendly and meaningful to the nature of that place. This way of construction is healthier for the environment as it responds to the climate, topography and natural forces. These methods of construction are sustainable and they are more relevant for environment, living and practice.
