Hut-to-Hut, 2012

This project was for the Panchabhuta Conservation Foundation, which involved field research to identify and document the financial, livelihood, ecological and architectural practices of residents of Kumta town and neighbouring Kagala village in coastal Karnataka. The ethnographic research led to the writing and design of two publications as part of a series that Panchabuta developed for its Hut-to-Hut program in the Western Ghats, which involved experimental bio-climatic architecture and farm-to-table permaculture.  Jackfruit also assisted in the conception and documentation of the construction of the prototype hut. Hut-to-Hut was designed by Oslo-based architecture practice Rintala Eggertson Architects. The project site became a wood workshop for students of the University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway.
