Ar. Meera Prajapati


Founder
Graduated as an architect from TVB School of Habitat Studies, New Delhi in 2003 and after having worked as an architect in a multinational Dutch company, CSO, Pvt Ltd., Gurgaon, for a year, I came to Auroville in October 2004 as my second visit, when the magic of this place also bound me to it for good.
Auroville is a place that has a living aspiration towards perfection and refinement and one absorbs this aspiration by being in its atmosphere. This aspiration of perfection in every detail of life has touched me as well. During the sixteen years of my Auroville adventure, I worked on different architectural, landscaping, interiors, product development, and research projects within Auroville and outside.
Holistic sustainability has been the key interest in my explorations. Harmony of built forms and nature, materials and techniques in their true potential, the functionality of forms, cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and interpretation of cultural continuity of tropical architecture are some facets that have repeatedly found expression in my works.
“Architecture, for me, is the pursuit of harmony — between nature and built form, tradition and innovation, simplicity and refinement.”
