Surpassing Chawls: Migrant Housing

The idea is to create an adaptive habitat for migrant communities associated with the very dynamic and socially interactive live-work environment. "Adaptability" is visualized as a real space which is accommodating people from diverse cultures and traditions over a period of time. The spaces, thus created, should characteristically provide the occupants with opportunities to alter such neighborhoods in certain extended patterns. The chawls have always been a good system to induce interactions and also provide a sense of belongingness. The aim here is surpass and overcome the shortages of the current system of chawls  while still holding it's best nature.
