Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches

Building Techniques & Research

From early on the barren land of Auroville, like an empty canvas, in a remote undeveloped rural area of South India, attracted innovative architects and researchers to find ways to build under local material and social conditions. The pressure to invent was not only from within but also from the harsh external conditions. This led to a wide range of innovations from the thatched huts of the pioneering decades to modern architecture in contemporary India.
