Mission : Self Sustainability
Swaraj University was designed and birthed in 2010 as a two year learning programme for youth to initiate the process of being self designed learners and engage in developing the skills and practices they need to manifest their vision.
Swaraj means Self Rule. And Self Rule comes with responsibility of self sustainability.
And First rule of Sustainability is the Shelter, the home, Zone Zero.
Two 10m Dia Domes become the Dormitory for the Khojis of Swaraj University, where they learn and participate from the start to finish in the design and construction.
#Dometry : The Geometry of Dome
A geodesic Dome is one of the strongest and aerodynamic shapes with vernacular construction technique.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing strongest grass (stronger than steel in tensile strength). Using the natural properties of Bamboo, shape, strength and size, integrating geometry supported by pre fabricated metal joinery, this Lego Like technique, is one of the fastest and cheapest methods for long span sustainable structures.
