Grassroot Green Architecture | Rosie Paul | TEDxNITKSurathkal

Описание: In this engaging talk on Grassroot Green Architecture, Rosie Paul of Masons Ink simplifies sustainability against the backdrop of building construction. Natural materials, renewable energy, indigenous designs, and local workmen come together to create a farmhouse in a rural setting in Tamil Nadu, India. The resulting structure not only satisfies the primary stakeholder but also benefits the local community, environment, and blends in with the surroundings. The talk communicates that sustainability doesn't have to be a difficult goal, rather it is what results when work is driven by the motto of 'Hands, Heart and Human'.
