Vinu Daniel, an architect from Mavelikara in Alappuzha, has been named on TIME magazine’s 2023 list of 100 emerging leaders shaping the world.
Mr. Daniel’s architectural firm Wallmakers is known for its sustainable and cost-effective architecture. It builds structures with “mud and waste as chief components.” TIME described him as one who “teaches us respect for local wisdom and material culture are key for a truly responsible attitude toward the environment and the future.”
“Whatever project you’re working on, can you reduce something about it? Can you reduce it by one bag of cement? Can you save one tree? Then you are on your own path to sustainability,” TIME quoted Mr. Daniel as saying.
