About the book

This book aims at understanding the principles of sustainable architecture for tropical climates, by illustrating them with examples of buildings in Auroville, a growing international township near Puducherry. As a picture is worth a thousand words, this journey through the principles of sustainable architecture is presented in the form of a graphic diary. This book can be read as a journey not just through principles of building sustainable habitats, but also through five decades of architectural innovation in Auroville.
