The project is a community space for a small settlement of around 50 houses, proposed on a site in Jamniya village in Mandu, MP. The site has an existing structure that was supposed to be a tomb. The design is a consequence of the supporting and supported spaces that arose out of the structural system of plus-shaped piers and c-shaped brick walls. This system was initially designed to support a water tank. The design focuses on material truth and structural integrity. The combination of brick and concrete (only in bending) is used to experiment with the tectonics of the built.
