About
Ecokriti works towards creating sustainable ecosystems through Eco-friendly building , efficient Natural resource management and adaptable Design and Technology.
Eco-Friendly Building
Buildings can be ageless, and the only ones still standing are the ones built in harmony with nature.
Using environmentally friendly materials, that are durable, easy to maintain, cost effective and adhere to the standards of a thermally comfortable living environment is very important.
Natural Resource
Management
Practising sustainability is also about using the right resources, in the right amounts, from the right places at the right time!
Basic necessities of life will soon cost more than one can afford. Harvesting sunlight, rainwater, chemical free self/community grown food using the principles of permaculture, waste management,using local and environmentally friendly construction materials are the only way to secure a hopeful future.
Design and Technology
Design and Technology together decide how efficiently we can build and manage resources.
Designing, considering local climatic conditions, using energy efficient technologies which adhere to the local climate and resources not only help in contextualizing but also allow social, economic and environmental sustainability.

Hello !
I am Shreya Jayakumar , a passionate architect, learning and practising eco-friendly construction since a decade. Inspired by the principles of the late architect Laurie Baker and the his passionate Er. Biju P. John, I began my eco-friendly building journey in 2014 with COSTFORD, Kerala.
My experience in Mumbai with the renowned architect Malak Singh Gill inspired me to learn and understand the metro-culture and the local architecture of the Konkan region. Having practised in Kerala, Telangana, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, I have worked with artisans from various regions and local materials such as mud, lime, stone, and bricks in different forms based on the local context and technology.
My masters in Urban Environment Management from the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, broadened my perspective on sustainable housing , when I analyzed it on a national level. I realized that the only way to achieve sustainability is when it is economically, culturally and environmentally feasible. Hence through Ecokriti I aim to make sustainable housing adaptable, scalable and feasible to everybody.
