Natural Building Techniques presentation by Earth Institute Auroville | Auroras Eye Films

For 27 years, the Auroville Earth Institute has educated and empowered people to build their own dwellings using earthen techniques. This presentation by Lara K.Davis Co-Founder of Earth Institute, explains the many different methods of earth construction around the world. The Auroville Earth Institute (AVEI), previously known as the Auroville Building Centre/Earth Unit, was founded by HUDCO, Government of India, in 1989. The former building centre progressively evolved and took the name of the Auroville Earth Institute in 2004. AVEI is a non-profit organisation registered under the Foundation of Auroville, which is an organisation of the Government of India. In the intervening years, the Auroville Earth Institute has become one of the world’s top centres for excellence in earthen architecture, working in 36 countries to promote and transfer knowledge in earth architecture. The work of the Earth Institute has attempted to revive traditional skills and to link ancestral and vernacular traditions of raw earth construction with the modern technology of stabilised earth. For millennia men proved that they could live in a sustainable way. They lived in harmony with nature. They made use of it, yet respected it. People used earth as a raw material with sensitivity. The "modern" fashion of the 20th century created a break with the millennia old developments. Our Mother Earth has been spoilt and abused. The 21st century should find again the harmonious link between man, nature and spirit.
