Cities are growing at vast scale but being abunded at the same time. In urban India, it is leading to severe problems such as homelessness, unhygenic conditions and lack of natural environment which must us to pay heed to housing facilities. Due to globalization as well as population growth, the heart of all cities is abounded. This has prompted the prime basis of this studio. What would be the role of Interior designer in this paradox ? Living spaces are barely brunt of population explosion and mass migration. To elevate the problem of low quality spaces, this studiowill focus on how to discuss the problem from different angels. An Interior designer is able to reconsider the term “house”. This studio will develop some creative solutions for “living modules” for upcoming urban India. The aim of studio is to design a solution which is integrated as a design insert in the vacant land/site in the middle of busy cities to deliberately allow culturally and economically diverse group of occupants, local-new corners as well as migrants to live together. To ignite the thought of ‘Urbanization’ and ‘context’ student will create mix media collages on their immediate coontext. Student will also learn to build empathy for target audiences. It is essential to understand stakeholders for given design problem.A capsule living was result of catering to the needs of an exponentially growing population in the post-war scenario, student will develop stronger grip on the context by studying metabolism movement. This study will enable students to understand notion of ‘living’. Studio ‘Need’ will re-define term ‘living modules’ by working on designing futuristic solutions to address the housing problems of today. Students will explore the power of being an interior designer. How they can transform cities.
