The style that they have established reflects something very powerful and very soft coming together. Man’s seeking after beauty reaches its most intense and satisfying expression in the creative arts, poetry, painting, music, sculpture, architecture said Sri aurobindo. The true beauty of this biophilic community lies behind the way they respond to the surroundings, it's important to know your place only then you can protect it. This ideology gets synthesized into interior design and architecture through a design methodology that is solely based on the context. Auroville earth institute has been established for the same concern. Auroville earth institute deals with the sampling of various types of the soil present in the region and the samples from all over the world as well. To categorize the soil for various purposes, for example in the earth based construction they don’t use agricultural soil, as it is among the non renewable resources that needs to be conserved. Auroville is a place that brings together the intellectual and spiritual traditions of the world into a single harmony or synthesis. It also reflects in their style as well, a style that is purely biophilic and manifests as an architectural amalgamation. In the society.

A place in smithereens, gives a message to live free as the citizens of the world and obey one single authority, that of the supreme truth. This is evident in the aspirations of the utopian dream, that is hard to understand and hard to achieve as well , but as you move further on this voyage.
