Earthing Center
PRITHWE : Earth and Us
Prithwe Earthing Centre is situated on a scenic riverfront property. It has been envisioned as a multi-functional and flexible design solution. One that pushes the boundaries of conventional studios – where collaborative sessions, workshops and exhibitions can be held, bring forth a new discourse within the fraternity and bridge the gap between students, professionals, and the environment they seek to understand and live in. The entire site consists of a main central villa, cottages and tents for volunteers, and a bamboo pavilion (Malluka) which acts as a shaded hands-on workshop area.

Prithwe Earthing Philosophy
“Earthing" is also called "grounding" and it stems from the idea that in a modern city life, we no longer have direct physical contact with the Earth, and therefore are losing out on purported health benefits of exchanging electrons with the surface of our planet. A handful of small studies have found that grounding appears to provide some general health benefits, such as better sleep, less pain, reduced stress and tension, and better immune function compared to study participants who weren't grounded. One study suggested that earthing eliminates the potentially harmful effects of the electromagnetic fields given off by all the electronic devices that surround us.

Bamboo and Earth Architecture
The vast legacy of Earth Architecture has been observed in the traditional and vernacular architecture since ages. Even today, Earth is a local resource of building material. It is neither manufactured nor transported. It can be found everywhere nearby. Earth has different size of grains in its components namely clay, sand, silt, gravels. Earth architecture consists of different building techniques which needs certain proportion of these components. Variety in the different sizes identifies the quality of the earth. It is very essential to identify the earth in terms of its organic contents.
That’s how it helps in
- Saving energy and reduces environmental pollution.
- Earth is a 100% eco-friendly building material.

Projects
At Prithwe we believe in using building material which is available within 5 kms. Village Kurunji in Bhor has a big bamboo plantation and we use the same Maize bamboo for all our constructions, we use local wood from already fallen trees and creat hybrid structures where bundles of several thin maize bamboo are tied together and used as roofing members.
