ABOUR FOOTPRINT E.A.R.T.H
“Holistic architecture is experientially engaging environmentally sustaining, socio-culturally responsive and most importantly contextually appropriate. The context in terms of culture, climate, and construction. In the context of India history is alive through lived-in traditions. We are lucky to find a repository of traditional wisdom through its deep long passage of time. We endeavor to create contextually relevant contemporary resolutions that inspire from the rich Indian traditions and yet aspire for its future dreams.”
Research, applied research and dissemination are tri prong activities of the organization. Contextual relevance, socio-cultural appropriateness, affordability, sustainability, and humaneness are the primary concerns for the design at FOOTPRINTS E.A.R.T.H. It deals with diverse scales of projects ranging from eco townships, institutional campuses, mass housing schemes, slum improvement initiatives, residences, exhibitions, interior design as well as graphic and product designs. The practice is research-based and the endeavor is to evolve development norms and standards that are indigenous and stems from socio-cultural realities of our contexts in India.

DIYODAR SCHOOL Diyodar
ABOUT PROJECT
The educational campus is designed on the tenets of ‘holistic learning’ that fosters natural growth and stimulates young minds. The primary layout bases itself on a courtyard based typology effective in a hot and dry climate while providing an opportunity for every kid to learn from nature. Overlooking corridors, interactive intermediate spaces, terraces and ample natural infill form the hallmarks of the design conceived as a home away from home. It is a juxtaposition of solid and void in plan that brings in natural light and air, view and vistas and continuous renders of light and shade

A truth cannot be read in scripture. truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.
Truth is not something outside to be discovered, is something inside to be realized.
The concentration called the right knowledge is that which is followed by reasoning, discrimination bliss, unqualified egoism.
W hen you really laugh for those few moments you are in a deep meditative state. Thinking stops. It is impossible to laugh and think together.
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
Be compassionate and friendly to all living beings.
Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.
