# Event Details

- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 25 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 am – Fri, 28 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Earth As A Building Material
This short workshop at the Auroville Earth Institute is intended as an experience workshop in earth construction with both traditional and modern earth techniques. Participants will learn the basic principles of soil identification and how different soils can be used for earthen construction. They will split into groups to build walls with both traditional raw earth construction (e.g. adobe and cob) and modern stabilized techniques (e.g. stabilized rammed earth and compressed stabilized earth block or CSEB). Construction with the traditional “waddle & daub” earth technique will be integrated into the workshop at the Bamboo Centre.

This experience aims to give students a series of physical inputs – to ask a beginning set of questions about ecologically sensitive construction, use of local materials, climate appropriateness of buildings, and social aspects of labour in construction.

Objectives:
To offer hands-on experience building walls with earth
To impart knowledge of traditional and modern earth techniques
To give students a “material imagination” for design
Bamboo As A Building Material
The Auroville Bamboo Centre workshop aims at teaching the participants the basics of working with bamboo, a plant with amazing characteristics. First, the students will learn how to harvest, treat, and work with bamboo using both traditional and modern techniques. After the brief theory, they will split into groups to build structures which are intended for real use after the workshop ends. Over the years, students have built bridges, storerooms, showrooms, workshops, houses, public toilets, domes and many fanciful structures using a variety of techniques which integrate bamboo, steel, jute, lime, and earth as their primary components.

Objectives:
Learning how to use bamboo as a building material
Applying the proper construction methodologies for the task at hand
Solving problems as they arise
Setting priorities and keeping work on schedule
