Brick Master : Laurie Baker Architectural Genius Part 3

Laurie Baker is an award-winning British-born Indian architect and humanitarian, considered the "Gandhi of Architecture". He is renowned for his initiatives in cost-effective energy-efficient architecture and for his unique space utilisation and simple but beautful aesthetic sensibility building in brick, mud and locally available materials. He is widely considered the father of sustainable architecture. He has been at various times of his life an anesthetist, a nurse, a missionary and an architect. A strong believer in non-violence, he refused to fight in the Second World War and instead joined the medical corps as an ambulance driver to tend to the injured. He lived for four years in isolation in remote China taking care of lepers. After a meeting with Gandhiji he was convinced to come to India, initially as the chief architect of the Mission to Lepers building leper homes throughout India. He has since lived in the foothills of the Himalayas building hospitals and schools and in the tribal areas of Vagamon in Kerala before finally settling down in the city of Trivandrum.
