SVARAM SOUND CAMPUS

“When the subtle movement of wind and the enchanting sound of chimes often remind us of the magical places which we so often reading our ancient epics. Imagining them our mind and body travel to the spiritual lands and their stories from our epics. While wandering through the building and the open closed spaces of Svaram Campus one is reminded of the the enchanting qualities of multiple tones of sounds and the subtle movement of wind.

Seeing the earthen planes of Auroville, with their ravines and seeing the hot and humid climate, one is surprised to see the green foliages grown over the last 50 years. Wandering through the Svaram Campus and meeting Aurelio and his integrated vision of sound, air, and form, I was tempted to create a campus where people from all walks of life and all ages must sense the nature of what Svaram means.” Balkrishna Doshi

"The new Svaram Campus of Sound is not a place of sequence, but of meandering movement…of discovery and getting lost… of clustering functions and connecting activities… of blurring the inside and outside and connecting to nature. It is a village, with a meandering network of gullies and narrow lanes passing through different experiences and activities and sometimes leading to nowhere. A village of sound, of vibration and harmony. A village of Craft, of workers and artisans. A village of reflection and concentration” says Sönke Hoof
