CONTEXT
“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’
But I dream things that never were;
and I say, ‘Why not’?” – George Bernard Shaw
AFRICAN PAVILION
• Create awareness of the ideals of Auroville among the new generation of young Africans,
• Accommodate African students and guests and allow them to directly experience Auroville.
• Present Africa to the international audience of Aurovilians. • Create a complex of buildings that will house activities and
presentations related to all the countries and cultures of the African continent.
A proposal for the layout of the Africa House was made in 2005 by Brook Teklehaimanot, Chair of the Architecture Department of Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia.

STUDENT DESIGN
“Others have seen what is and asked why. I have
seen what could be and asked why not. ” - Pablo Picasso
DESIGN BRIEF
Design a space of about 12,56 m2 that can be used to accommodate visi2ng students, volunteers or care takers. The structure will be a temporary one with a life span of about 10 years. It should address following parameters: -‐ keeping in mind minimal needs of occupant -‐ sustainable and efficient in use of resources -‐ material choice to be taken by par2cipant: op2ons include bamboo, light weight wood frames, earth materials, natural stones etc. -‐ easy maintenance and adaptability to change, expansion, reloca2on -‐ natural topography and water drainage to be considered -‐ master plan constraints (proximity to road, entrance...) to be considered -‐ reference to simple architectural tradi2ons of Africa
DESIGN BRIEF
Expected are well-‐thought out solu2on which can inspire the project holders and help them in further fundraising efforts. The design concepts may be built in future or will serves as a comprehensive idea collec2on and case studies to answer the growing need of temporary and cost efficient shelter at Auroville.

IN THE SPIRIT OF COLLABORATION Auroville Green Practices aims to bring together various stakeholders to envision future townships that offer a habitat that is ecologically, socially and economically nurturing. Auroville Green Practices is managed by Auroville Consulting a unit under the Auroville Foundation. White Ant Studio is a design unit based in the International City of Auroville and headed by Fabian Ostner. Born and educated in Germany, Fabian works since several years in India and – after three years in Bangalore (where he worked with a renowned architectural firm as project architect) – has relocated to this exciting place on India’s eastern coastline, just 150km south of Chennai. The Unity Pavilion is meant to be a catalyst for the development of the International Zone. It will be open to all nations presenting cultural activities, and in this way initiate the realization of the national/cultural pavilions. In this context, the Unity Pavilion’s objective will be to promote understanding between people, individuals and cultures, and in that way work towards an understanding of human unity that is the basis for realization of world peace. Auroville Consulting provides comprehensive consulting and advisory services for project developers, manufacturers and policy makers engaged in ecologically and socially responsible development areas. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, we create unique solutions in the domains of sustainable resource management (energy & water) and sustainable management
practices.
