Designing for a Maldhari family meant understanding movement as life. Rooted in seasonal migration, the project explores impermanence, adaptability, and kinship between people, animals, and land. The design responds to two distinct moments in the Maldhari cycle—stillness during the monsoon and mobility through the rest of the year—through shelters that adapt, shift, and dissolve with changing conditions. Guided by the imagined perspective of a 10-year-old Maldhari girl, the final drawing weaves together memory, movement, and space.
