*Categories
The projects may fall under any of these two categories:
1) Urban
The simplicity of the module, its ability to be swiftly executed and replicated with variants to allow for creating individual experiences while responding to the existing fabric of the city neighborhood will be viewed with a critical lens.In urban areas, the solution could be centered around the needs of:
– Daily wage workers who face an absence of adequate housing facilities and infrastructure.
– Slum dwellers de housed by the infrastructure or development projects within the city.
– Rental housing for people who cannot afford to buy a house in the city.
2) Rural
This design challenge addresses the challenge of building a home within a cluster of others while retaining the community flavour of the area under consideration.In rural areas, the areas of intervention include:
– Shelter for the homeless, for e.g., the people living on the fringes of the village.
– Homes for migrants who have returned home to make a new living for themselves
– Low-cost mass housing solutions for the benefactors of PMAY-G schemes.
