Laurie Baker was truly a green architect, with considerable concern for harmony with nature as well as low maintenance cost. He was an “architect’s architect” and he has left his footprints on the sands of time in relation to architecture with a human face. I am happy that Shri. Atul Deulgaonkar has captured in this book the essence of Laurie Baker’s philosophy in the field of architecture. I hope the book will be widely read by all concerned with protecting the environment, reducing construction and maintenance costs and above all a sense of beauty and functional efficiency. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Shri. Atul Deulgaonkar for his labour of love for nature and architecture.”
