The buildings you’re creating are so much nicer than the “traditional” ones! Congratulations for your sensitivity! Hope your techniques get adopted by others too!!

So sooo inspiring! I have looked upto Vinu Daniel for so many years and it makes me so happy that many more get to be part of his journey! Much Love!

wo proud of u brother for showing us what we can do with the plastics ,tyres and the debris ,with tht u have create magics on this earth, sooper proud of u as being a keralite

Thank you for this reassurance; I'm just ahead of my time. Beautiful, soul filled, living, livable art.

This was one of the best videos available online ❤ Much needed realisation and much needed break from the current ongoing practices.

Definitely a proud moment for the community! ❤

Beautiful, sustainable and low cost!!!

That’s wonderful Vinu!

So inspiring. Thank you.

soo impressive, one of the best ted talks i've seen

Wonderful talk!💯

AMAZING, THANK YOU.

Vinu daniel .... you are an absolute gem of a person... lets all find better use cases for waste products so that we can make this planet a heaven once again... 🙂

Another man's junk is another man's treasure. BRAVO!!!!

Absolutely magnificent.....

Amazing work

Super up cycling! Awesome!

Fantastic 💯

EXCELLENT😊

Beautiful thoughts and efforts. Help me build one eco friendly house with a cool design some day

Awesome.

WOW! THIS IS DEFINITELY THE WAY TO GO AND HOW WE SHOULD DEFINE OUR FUTURE!

This is a great idea! How can I help with this? Can I invest in their project? I want to learn how I can contribute to such a positive change

Congratulations!

Not to be hateful here, but not everything Vinu says is true. I'm an Architect based in Kerala like he is and I've been to the Auroville earth institute expecting to learn this technology as well. But I was surprised to learn from Mr. Satprem Maini who Vinu acknowledges is his mentor that CSEB (compressed stabilized earth block) construction is infact more expensive than conventional concrete equivalents. I'm not trying to discredit Vinu for his efforts and inspiration but his projects are essentially vanity projects that have massive cost and time overruns. You can ask his many unpaid interns who are disillusioned into thinking that this is a very efficient method of construction. Also by Vanity, I mean that it's a his practice hides behind a sharade making people believe that this technology could be employed en-mass but even the mud used sometimes is not from the locality because it's chemical composition may not be applicable. This system is expensive because it is highly labour intensive to create the bricks and not because of the embodied energy of the brick. Laurie Baker another great self made architect in Kerala is a true role model unlike this liar. Mr. Baker believed that technology should be shared and materials easily available but most importantly be affordable to the poor if it hopes to be used by everyone. His buildings though for the poor have inspired a generation of architects like Vinu and myself to explore this field.

It is pretty obvious that such labour-intensive techniques will not be so efficient in terms of cost. Don't get lost in the details, take the ideas and run with it.

​@@cerenosimoes1587But to carry out the idea you have to solve the little issues. Otherwise its just a dream that doesnt get achieved. Whos going to get a million dollars: person who day dreams of a million dollars or the person who is thinking about a solution to little issues to get his money up and avoid too much taxation etc. Probably the one with a plan, and not the one day dreaming about the idea.

Dream home❤❤

great ending!

Incredible. 👏 I just have an issue with the last one. Isn't using tyres for construction, expensive?

Great approach to building. The problem with reusing plastic this way, however, is that it will degrade over time and eventually wash into waterways. It's just hiding the problem inside building walls. Not all materials are suitable for every application.

When you are caught between a rock and a hard place like the case of plastic wastes in India, someone has too choose the less evil. Of course a better treatment for plastics should still be researched and executed in future

How would plastic built into a structure wash away? Plastic disintegrate into micro plastics when it's exposed to elements. So we cannot say any and all recycled plastic will end up as microplastics in waterways. What we can say for sure is, plastic dumped out without recycling it into a value generating product, would most definitely end up as microplastics in the waterways. Recycling into objects away from elements would however, prolong it eventually ending up as microplastics in waterways. The only way to convert plastic into something doesn't end up as microplastics in waterways, is to turn it back into petrochemicals and backfill spent oilwells

I suppose it is better than leaving it out on the ground where it's more likely to wash into waterways

Appreciate the thought of building with mud + lime (instead of cement). However, using plastic bottles / discarded tires though reduces the dumping issue but it comes with it's own cost. Quoting the drawback of Earthship (using tires - Micheal Reynold's) for anyone who is interested and want to pursue, please be aware of this: "The tires of an Earthship may release brominated flame retardants (PBDEs) into the air of an Earthship, which is a synthetic material derived from petrochemicals that is toxic to humans through long-term exposure."

Very impressive Vinu. I didn't think that 5% cement mud brick would be that strong.

Revolution for mudbrick buildings in India💌 .

My friend, is there a significant difference between putting a mud brick in water for 50 years versus putting it in a sealed box and leaving it outdoors in cramped conditions that can easily grow mold or plants?

Love from one Keralite to another 🙏🏽

this mans brain is brilliant

Hi all... today what we are calling traditional constitution, I am leaving at same. My house is 200 yrs back . I am the 5 th generation kid. She is very eco friendly, very patience,in this heat era she making me to cool even peak summer with out Air condition. I am really wounding that with out any repairs my house is still alive . I would like to re construct with new pattern.

Have you though of 3D printed mud house?

This is extremly perfect

😍😍😍😍

Congratulations on being TIME' 100 most influential people in the world

Through this method the plastic and tyres are used and being covered up by mud... Basically its not seen out...but the plastic or rubber which is non biodegradable exists inside the building. After few years once the client or the next generation wants to demolish this building and build another...this becomes back to landfill waste again unless the new building is constructed the same way covering the waste materials inside the mud. What is the solution to prevent it? How is it eco-friendly?

I think this is good idea.I want to see buiding with mud and trash.

In South African Rural areas we use mud to build houses. It's a mix of houses made with mud and those that are made from bricks. But now that more people are working, everyone is building morden houses

Nothing in this world is waste.
