The winner of the 2023 , The Prodigy category is | Architecture, Art & Ecology with partners Shruthi Ramakrishna, Jérémie Gaudin and Agnimitra Bachi sharing the accolade.
Based in India, Made In Earth Collective | Architecture, Art & Ecology is a practice that embraces nature and the earth and is determined to bring sustainability to the fore through all its commissions.
Shruthi Ramakrishna, Jérémie Gaudin and Agnimitra Bachi met when studying architecture at the Auroville Earth. The trio came to understand designing with nature and the potential of this was realised when they began working with Chenelet Construction in France. They explored the full potential of bio-sourced materials and earth building techniques that posed an alternative to the challenges of high manpower costs and elaborate building regulations.
Back in India the trio travelled to Khamir and Hunnarshala in Kutch, Gujarat. Working with communities making crafts, the seed was sown to establish their own practice.
During this time, they met diverse people working to make the natural building movement a more accessible and desirable alternative. They participated in design-build workshops, where the process of architecture became more community-led. The lines between designing and making were blurred and Made In Earth was a spontaneous extension of all this.
The trio is inspired by the earth and by making architecture in the geographical and cultural context that is closer to people and can sustain ecosystems.
