Our Philosophy
C-EARTH commingles two streams of thought, the philosophy of sustainable practice popularised in Kerala by the architect Laurie Baker in the seventies and eighties and the stream of socially responsible inclusive design, and planning and the primacy of context.
The people who worked with Baker or were influenced by his ideas followed a path of honesty and sustainability. Identifying and representing materials in all its truthfulness brought a balance in the way we use the materials along with labour and this has helped rediscover the nature of the evolving environment. The actual application of Baker’s philosophy has grown and changed over time and C-EARTH has played its part in its development.
Our Approach
A new project is an avenue for us to learn a few things about life. The preliminary study on the project goals with the robust tools developed enable us not only to find the possibilities of the project but to achieve a wholesome output addressing all the arenas related with the project.
To develop an ingenious solution to a given problem we deploy methods that are evolved and stood the test of time. Our methodology will be tailor made for the project and will address the concerns on context, spatial relationships, best practises of construction and overall economy.
