Transformation and Evolution

The design approach aims to evolve the living conditions and transform the internal streets of the Loving Community. The community is 2 meters below the street level and floods every monsoon. The intention is to reconstruct the homes below street level and add alternate functions to it, like a library, workshop, gathering space, and classrooms, so as to reduce the cost of construction. This also allows the children of the community to be in a space familiar to them and close to their homes. Also, transforming the character of streets by relocating few houses and creating interactive pockets in the street.
