Kerala faced one of the worst floods in 2018 and ended up as a complete disaster. The
dreams and hard work of people that invested in their dwellings were completely
collapsed in most affected areas. To overcome this situation, we came up with a proposal
of “Elevated Rapid Housing”. Later, the prototype design got recognised with ‘HUDCO
National Design Award 2018’.
In 2019 the flood repeated in Kerala with more disaster in the form of landslides. This
made the people seriously look into its major causes including uncontrolled quarrying and
unprofessional developments. When the public and the leaders started looking of
alternatives to reduce quarrying, we started a campaign called “Stone Free Movement”
to promote alternate materials and technologies to avoid use of stone in the construction
industry.
In 2019, during the beginning of Pandemic, we decided to collect functional solutions for
constructing quick isolation facilities from India’s rich professional architects to support
Indian Health Departments. We declared a competition called PANDEMIC REALITY -
Concept & Design Contest. We shared the shortlisted ideas to Government Authorities in
different parts of India.
We have done seminars and workshops on sustainable & responsible architecture in
several architectural institutes and public audience. (College of Engineering &
Technology(CET)-TVM , Govt.Engineering College -Bartonhill, Mookambika School of
Architecture, Holly crescent college of architecture (Ernakulam), cultural Forum -Qatar,
Welfare forum - Kerala , Youth India - Dubai etc
