A house is not just a structure to live in but, is a communication unit which constantly interacts with the environment and nature throughout its construction and maintenance due to which, there is a need to look upon structures and living breathing units and construct houses which are sustainable in all aspects of construction and maintenance. Most importantly, this sustainability should be affordable for the marginalized population so that such structures can get into the mainstream construction and create a positive impact on the global climate change problem. Bahaar Rao is a Civil Engineering graduate with specialization in Architecture who is fervent towards sustainable and alternate methods and constructions. She believes that structures are not just rigid combinations of different materials put together using various techniques and technologies but are living units which can actually invoke peace, harmony and consciousness within people if properly
designed and can also save the environment if efficiently constructed so that the world becomes a better place to live in. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
