We find in others what is within us.
“If we always find mud around us, it proves that there is mud somewhere within us.”
-Mira alfassa (the mother)
Auroville – a town that belongs to earth is a perfect example of sustainable habitat. A city with perfect balance between human and nature . Once a dream of Sri Aurobindo and the mother today is a reality. The mother dreamt of a new society: balanced, just, harmonious and dynamic. Thereupon, she saw that “the earth is not ready to realise such an ideal” and therefore called it ‘A Dream’ which today is a reality.
Architecture and design within Auroville are highly experimental around natural architecture. Natural architecture takes advantage of locally available building materials, as well as the layout and contours of the project site.
On my virtual visit to this universal town, I discovered a new path to sustainable living. Today when the idea of sustainability has globally taken centre stage Auroville ends up becoming a model because of its eco-friendly, cost-effective and vernacular architecture.
Art has always been the best way of learning and I endeavoured to learn about this universal city by creating the above artwork.
Do have a Virtual visit to Auroville:
