“<br />

We’re not just talking about affordability<br />

in terms of money here; we’re<br />

also talking about impact on the<br />

environment. We can’t afford to keep<br />

building the way we do. My work is<br />

to find alternative solutions to build<br />

using significantly less materials, and<br />

action them<br />

”<br />

“<br />

When the opposites in a duality work<br />

in union, there is enrichment and<br />

knowledge. If the quest for knowledge<br />

is ahead of the action, there is evolution.<br />

If the impulse of action is ahead of<br />

reflection there can be destruction (Mahabharata).<br />

Knowledge informs the act of building,<br />

and building widens knowledge” .<br />

“<br />

By helping communities to fabricate<br />

a set of simple building components,<br />

we can build knowledge and bring<br />

housing back to the people” .

Further research<br />

Continuing her research on ferrocement technology, Dr. Anupama<br />

Kundoo, organized a two-week student workshop at the Behrens<br />

Halle (AEG) in collaboration with the Chair of Conceptual and<br />

Structural design, Technische Universität Berlin including a team<br />

of Indian masons. Some of the elements built and tested in Berlin<br />

have travelled to Venice to be part of her installation at the Architecture<br />

Biennale <strong>20</strong>16. The rest have remained in TU Berlin for<br />

conducting strength tests for further research on this material.<br />

The ferrocement elements retained at the TU Berlin involved<br />

different types of cement matrix and reinforcements. They were<br />

produced for testing compressive, tensile and flexural strengths<br />

of each variation. Two months after the workshop the results<br />

of the experiments are still being analyzed. However a good<br />

structural behavior was already observed. In general, the ferrocement<br />

members delivered higher strength than expected, with<br />

a ductile behavior. Thus, this material comprises a high potential<br />

for the use of lightweight and economic structures.<br />
