BUILDING WITH FIRE By Ray Meeker Published by CEPT

The title Building with Fire is meant to underline, first and foremost, a technique where fire is introduced into the construction process, in situ, as ‘cement’ for bonding building elements together permanently and of course to create a water-resistant structure. But ‘building with fire’ is also meant to suggest the passion with which these experiments have been undertaken, the element of risk involved in the process and, just as important, the fire Ray inspires in others. Though he has stopped firing houses, Ray Meeker is still building with fire — still taking immense risk.

Remarks by eminent ceramics collector Dr Raj Kubba and architect Anupuma Kundoo.  Followed by screening of the film Agni Jata.
