At “Good Earth”, we have been experimenting with alternatives in housing for the past few years. The attempt has been to create vibrant communities which make one feel psychologically and socially secure, and retain one’s individuality. Communities of like-minded people, a belief in an ecosustainable future.
With every project, we have observed the responses and grown, at times adapting to the demands of people, at others, persisting in what we believe.
Certain concepts about the individual and the community have evolved over time. The necessity of appropriate private spaces, open and semi-open,in
order to enhance community life and interaction in the public spaces, has become clearer. So has the need to create smaller groups, within the context of the large group, to accentuate the sense of belonging, and encourage relationships among the immediate group first and then the larger group. We hope that these environments will create a greater sense of social responsibility among the members. We believe we are bringing about social and environmental change through these efforts.
