“<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 />
