Manu is a civil engineer whose passion lies in exploring the vast realm of construction materials. During his undergraduate research thesis, he investigated the potential of ‘bamboo as a construction material.’ He has since continued his quest for knowledge, immersing himself in the world of bamboo and other natural building materials and systems. He travels throughout India and abroad in search of new horizons and potential applications for these materials. Notably, Manu actively participated in the development of a prototype bamboo shelter for coastal villages in Orissa, where he cleverly adapted local techniques. His current focus is on earth and lime-based construction techniques and finishes, as he strives to integrate traditional methods with contemporary architectural aesthetics, to create sustainable and modern designs.
