Architecture in Auroville

Experimentation in building done in Auroville covers various aspects of architecture, and includes building materials, building technology, eco-friendly architecture, climate responsive designs, integration with natural surroundings, cost-effective buildings, geomancy and geometry, as well as the design of spaces themselves, including experimenting with the lifestyle of the user. There has also been spillover into the design and management of building infrastructure, the building of integrated rainwater harvesting systems, domestic waste water treatment plants and the integration of renewable energy systems for energy demands.

 Every year dozens of Architect students apply for an Internship in the Auroville Architectural Studios to learn from the alternative practices found here.

Most of the Architectural Studios accept few interns per semestar. For more information you would have to contact the Studios directly.

Auroville: a place of an unending education

The best way to participate and experience Auroville is to take up a voluntary mission, get involved in a project: it will reveal to you as a learning experience!

 

“Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity.”

(4th article of the Charter of Auroville)
