VOLUME ZERO - Micro Housing 2019 competition entry
Float in - Float out
Project done with Raghav Kohli
The challenge was to rethink and re imagine the idea of urban dwellings and come up with inventive solutions to the persistent issues of space crunch and growing population in our cities.
The design encourages and takes into account the housing needs of the inhabitants-people displaced by the riverfront project-while also taking in account the recreational needs of the city. By providing them space onto the river itself, it is ensured that they have their cultural connections when they previously inhabited the space. They would have central location in the city thereby maintaining their connectivity to the older and newer parts of the city, on which they depend for their daily needs. The design tries to provide connectivity, sustainability, sensibility and a better quality of life to them and the city.
