Amorphous | An amphibian abode

Speculations that resulted in a water logged city, somehow created a home in the ruins of Sarkhej Roza- a host that possessed the ability to house the ones that decided to stay, giving birth to the Jaliyagarh community. A safe place that grew to be one where all were treated with equality and didn't let hierarchy intervene their relationship. the shared community called for a healthy internal divide to create a harmonious society. 
 One such coterie amongst them were the researchers, a group of young talented enthusiasts and experienced elderly citizens that were always on a look out for opportunities to learn and explore their new living conditions, study and invent systems that can help the community advance. With their skillset, a quest looking for a revolutionary invention was set out, completed by their new found amorphous material, one they built their abode with and continue to further experiment on. 
The nebulous form inspired by the uncertainty of the water, wide oculi to allow light, long narrow tubes to breathe, catchment areas to experiment on water, bridges connecting the floating pods and speculative experiments carried out post the flooding with more to follow. The curved profile seemed as though it was spilling down the stairs into the kund while masking itself with the waves of the water, letting its eyes peek through as the water levels rose, merging with the slight waves and letting the sun shine into it, there it stood, their beloved Amorphous Abode, an uncertain name but a certain home.
