My first tryst with Vaults and domes was the experience of living under one at the Auroville Earth Insititute while working as a junior architect. “The Auroville Earth Institute (AVEI), previously known as the Auroville Building Centre/Earth Unit, was founded by HUDCO, Government of India, in 1989. The former building centre progressively evolved and took the name of the Auroville Earth Institute in 2004. For 32 years, the Auroville Earth Institute has educated and empowered people to build their own dwellings using earthen techniques.”1
