Paper Log House

For the people who lost their homes due to the Gujarat Earthquake in 2001, the Paper Log House was redesigned to meet the local circumstances. Rubble from destroyed buildings was used for the foundation, topped with a traditional mud floor. For the roof, split bamboo was used for the rib vaults and whole bamboo for the ridge beams, covered by two mats of woven bamboo sandwiching a plastic tarp.
