• He obtained Indian citizenship in 1989 and resided in
Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), Kerala.
•In 1990, the Government of India awarded him with the
Padma Shri in recognition of his meritorious service in the
field of architecture.
•Baker studied architecture in Birmingham and graduated
in 1937, aged 20, in a period of political unrest for Europe.
•During the Second World War, he served in the Friends
Ambulance Unit in China and Burma.
•Baker lived in Kerala with Doctor P.J. Chandy,
•He received great encouragement and later
married his sister
•While Laurie continued his architectural work and
research accommodating the medical needs of the
community through his constructions of various
hospitals and clinics.
INITIAL WORK
•Baker sought to enrich the culture in which he
participated by promoting simplicity and home-grown
quality in his buildings.
•His emphasis on cost-conscious construction,
•An ideal that the Mahatma expressed as the only
means to revitalize and liberate an impoverished India
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE
• Designing and building low
cost, high quality, beautiful homes
• Suited to or built for lower-middle to
lower class clients.
• Irregular, pyramid-like structures on
roofs, with one side left open and
tilting into the wind.
• Brick jali walls, a perforated brick
screen which utilises natural air
movement to cool the home's
interior and create intricate patterns
of light and shadow

ent/my-mentor-laurie-baker
•Baker's designs invariably have traditional Indian
sloping roofs and terracotta Mangalore tile shingling
with gables and vents allowing rising hot air to escape.
•Curved walls to enclose more volume at lower material
cost than straight walls.
•His respect for nature led him to let the idiosyncrasies
of a site inform his architectural improvisations, rarely is
a topography line marred or a tree uprooted.
•This saves construction cost as well, since working
around difficult site conditions is much more cost-
effective than clear-cutting
LOW COST CONSTRUCTION
Advantages
Energy saving & Eco-Friendly
compressive roofing.
Decorative & Highly Economical
Maintenance free
Filler slabs employ replacing 'un-
productive' concrete by a 'Filler'
material which reduces the weight
of the slab and also the cost by
reducing the amount of concrete
used. Also, since the weight of the
slab is thus reduced, lesser steel
is required for
reinforcement, further reducing
the cost

  • 5. •Baker sought to enrich the culture in which he participated by promoting simplicity and home-grown quality in his buildings. •His emphasis on cost-conscious construction, •An ideal that the Mahatma expressed as the only means to revitalize and liberate an impoverished India
  • 6. ARCHITECTURAL STYLE • Designing and building low cost, high quality, beautiful homes • Suited to or built for lower-middle to lower class clients. • Irregular, pyramid-like structures on roofs, with one side left open and tilting into the wind. • Brick jali walls, a perforated brick screen which utilises natural air movement to cool the home's interior and create intricate patterns of light and shadow Fig2:BRICK JALI Ref:http://www.downtoearth.org.in/cont ent/my-mentor-laurie-baker
  • 7. •Baker's designs invariably have traditional Indian sloping roofs and terracotta Mangalore tile shingling with gables and vents allowing rising hot air to escape. •Curved walls to enclose more volume at lower material cost than straight walls. •His respect for nature led him to let the idiosyncrasies of a site inform his architectural improvisations, rarely is a topography line marred or a tree uprooted. •This saves construction cost as well, since working around difficult site conditions is much more cost- effective than clear-cutting
  • 8. LOW COST CONSTRUCTION Advantages Energy saving & Eco-Friendly compressive roofing. Decorative & Highly Economical Maintenance free Filler slabs employ replacing 'un- productive' concrete by a 'Filler' material which reduces the weight of the slab and also the cost by reducing the amount of concrete used. Also, since the weight of the slab is thus reduced, lesser steel is required for reinforcement, further reducing the cost Fig3:FILLER SLAB Ref:http://www.lauriebakerbuildingcentr e.com/ Fig4:JACK ARCH Ref:http://www.lauriebakerbuildingcentr e.com/

  • 10. THE HAMLET • This is Baker's home in Trivandrum. • This is remarkable and unique house built on a plot of land along the slope of a rocky hill, with limited access to water: • However Baker's genius has created a wonderful home for his family • Material used from unconventional sources • Family eats in kitchen • • Electricity wiring is not concealed
  • 12. The wall is decorated from broken pottery, pens, glass Gables for proper air circulation and ventilation Fig5:DECORATIVE WALL Ref: http://lauriebaker.net/ Fig6:CIRCULATION Ref: http://lauriebaker.net/

Generous sprawling ground floor with three floor staking of pentagon • The main house is formed by a simple three-floor stacking of the pentagon on nine-inch-thick brick walls • internally each floor divides into the bedroom, bath and landing • The additional segment on the ground, forming the living/dining and kitchen, is structured with bays of half- brick thickness, alternating wall and wall and door Fig5: STACKED PENTAGON Ref: http://lauriebaker.net/

  • 22. DESIGN STRATEGIES • Exposed brickwork and structure • Sloped concrete roof • Openness in design and individual units offset each other • Continuous latticework • in the exposed walls Construction
  • 23. • Low sloped roofs and courts serve as wind catchers • Open walls function to dispel it • Long row of housing replaced by even staggering • Fronting courts catch the breeze and also get view of sea Dealing With Cyclones:
  • 24. • Little private rectangle of land in between houses for drying nets , kids play, • Provides sleeping lofts within and adequate space outside for mending nets and cleaning and drying fish Open Spaces

  • 28. • Using principle of lattice wall planning, breezeways and built of natural brick and stone keeping in consideration the electronic sophistication • He proposed a double walled building with an outer surface of intersecting circles of brick jalis • Internal shell fulfilled the constraints and controls necessary for a computer laboratory. • Space between the two walls accommodated the secondary requirements for offices and storage areas.
