Migrant Housing

The course introduces the concepts of migrant housing' across space and time. The evolution of housing settlements through linking and stacking; their processes, determinants/ generations, and resulting patterns are to be explored in their respective contexts identifying the balance between order and complexity. The idea, here, is to create an adaptive habitat for migrant communities associated with the very dynamic and socially interactive live-work environment. Here, "adaptability" is visualized and represented as a real space which is accommodating people from diverse cultures and traditions over a period of time. The spaces, thus created, characteristically provide the occupants with opportunities to alter such neighbourhoods in certain extended patterns. Eventually, this fluctuating habitat, over time, attempts to maintain a balance between generated orders & identified contextual complexities.
