- 3. PHILOSOPHY •A design should speak the language of the site and the materials and while the design takes form of architecture, the buildings should be reasonable to the maker, the user and to the natural setting. •Optimise the use of natural resources in a way that the creation is an amalgam of sustainability, art and functionality. •I have always believed in being true to materials in designs. It’s an art to use natural properties of materials to our advantage rather than covering up and destroying its natural appearance and qualities.
- 4. INTRODUCTION •Vinu Daniel completed his B. Arch in 2005 from The College ofEngineering, Trivandrum, following which he worked with Auroville Earth Institute for the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) Post-Tsunami construction. Indian Islai School, Abu Dhabi On returning from Pondicherry in 2007 he started 'Wallmakers' which was christened thus by others, as the first project was just a compound wall. •By 2008 he had received an award for a low cost, eco-friendly house from the ‘Save Periyar’ Pollution Control Committee for the house which was constructed for a cancer patient. Many such eye-openers in the course of his practice prompted him to resolve to devote his energies towards the cause of sustainable and cost-effective architecture. Architect Laurie baker has been my major inspiration because he combines sustainability and art. For me also, the motivation for my architectural works is the responsibility of using materials with very less embodied energy. •Vinu Daniel is changing the rules of building living spaces, brick by brick. The award-winning architect is taking green architecture and sustainable construction to another level with his use of mud, bamboo, and recycled material of all kinds: used bottles, scrap metal, jute sacks, coconut shells, broken bricks and more. •Vinu Daniel is changing the rules of building living spaces, brick by brick.

- 6. Location Pathanamthitta, India Category Sustainability Area 194.0 m2 Project Year 2015 •Its a rammed earth residence for a family of six. • The site was at a slope with remnants of many demolished buildings. •Maximizing the given area the building is set in multiple levels to accommodate the family. •Very different from weekend homes, these houses have become prototypes in themselves and act as pivots for the life of the inhabitants. •This house employs recycled and eco-sensitive materials in its making with much care all the while ensuring that the material limitations are overcome and an expressive architecture is allowed to emerge from the constraints.

- 9. The small court ensures ventilation and the windows made from scrap but with a certain careful detailing. The levels of the site are explored for connections within and the house maintains a scale with sensitivity towards the neighbourhood. PROJECT TECHNOLOGY: the materials were responsibly chosen; the walls rose out from the earth that was dug out within the site, the debris from the earlier building is turned to a curvilinear wall that forms the central courtyard and becomes the central focus of the house which is called the Debris Wall and is also the advent of a new technology.
- 10. DEBRIS WALL: The Debris wall is built over a discovered foundation and with materials that are recycled from the site Using meshed (22 gauge chicken mesh )casing reinforced with 6mm bars at 2 feet intervals vertically and horizontally, lump sized Debris added with 10% gravel and 5% cement and 5%manufactured sand with water was slightly tamped in 2cm layers to form the set of walls Debris walls consume 5 times less energy than a fired brick wall.

- 13. SINUSOIDAL WALLS The technology consists of constructing wave-like walls with or without reinforcement. This was pioneered by architect Eladio Dieste in Iglesia de Atlantida, Uruguay. The Wallmakers have tried to emulate the essence of Dieste by using Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks without reinforcing the vault structure. This small technique allowed wind to enter creating beautiful triangular openings (windows) and yet avoiding trespassers viewing into the home. CHAIN STUDY METHOD Chain study method helps to stabilize the right shape of the arch before the execution begins. The structural study was first formulated by Antonio Gaudi in some of his structures. Which engineers posthumously found out. The same technique is employed to achieve stability in the Arches
- 14. •COMPRESSED STABILISED EARTH BLOCKS •These are mud blocks used for walls, vaults, composite beams and columns prepared by compressing earth in the form of blocks of different sizes and shapes. •The mix basically contains 80% gravel, 15% sand, and 5% cement. •A finished CSEB wall is 15-20% cheaper than country fired brick wall.
- 15. NUBIAN TECHNIQUE Age old construction technique involving masonry with earth blocks and mud mortar without shuttering to create a wide range of arches and domes and vaults. The was reintroduced to the 20th century by Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy. LIVING ROOM DINNING ROOM STAIRCASE WASH BASIN
- 17. Project: Chirath Residence In Pala Kerala •We, as a community, have devoted ourselves to the cause of using Mud and Waste as the chief components to make structures which are alluring and utilitarian. Plot Area: 10,867 sq ft .Built-up Area: 1,811 sq ft.Located in kottayam,kerela. •As a firm practicing sustainable architecture exclusively for a decade, we know about the aspirations of a “modern” client, where his house is a symbol of his status and prominence in society instead of being a statement for the future. •When we first met the client, he mentioned to us about his disapproval towards the traditional Kerala style home system.
