1.1 The Story
The world is going through UNPRECEDENTED SHIFT. Total population on earth has risen to over 6.3 billion people and by 2030 the population will be 8.3 billion. There are now over 400 cities with a population of over a million people. To cater this huge number of population we would need 50% more energy, 40% more water, 35% more food and 40% more houses.
The population of the world has always been increasing, but the change what is never happened before is among such a big population,over 60% of the world’s population is expected to be living in cities by 2030.
The proposal is to have a design scheme for Urban Housing which, -Has smaller carbon footprint -Initiates social change - social involvements -Encourages a higher density in Urban areas -Is aordable, adaptable and durable house -Utilises prefabrication Source: U.S Census Bureau, International Bata Base, June 2010 Update

Like the other countries of the world Australia’s population is also rising at a high rate. Historically, the cultural and linguistic diversity of Australia’s resident population has been reshaped over many years by migration. At 30 June 2013, 27.7% of the estimated resident population was born overseas (6.4 million people). Among them, there were 303,171 international student visa holders in Australia on 31 December 2014. Sydney to grow by about 40,000 people per year, or 780 people per week. Among the migrants in Sydney 54% are international students. Population growth is a major underlying factor in Sydney for the demand of housing and without a new supply of dwellings, it pushes up the prices for both renting and purchasing dwellings. The resultant fall in affordability is a problem that is further compounded in many large cities by the change in living preferences. Sydney’s median for houses is $710,000 and $555,000 for units, well above the national average. Employment growth has been strong in some locations, especially in and around the CBD- forces people to live in and around city.

60% of the House Package cost is for LAND PRICE
Housing in Sydney has illustrated the dilemma of density and the need for creating pleasant urban places to live in. The issues here are,
E OR
Australia is known as a nation of homeowners.
-Scarcity of urban land -In Sydney, the land represents 60% of the cost of a new house and land package.

Design Scope

2.1 Client Group
The International Students has been chosen as the client group for the design proposal. WHY -52% of the total population growth are migrants in Australia. -54% migrants are international students.
Initial experience and expectations - Meeting people within the local community. - Australia and Australians being environmentally friendly - Expectations about accommodation - Lifestyle expectations. - Learning and speaking English

Studio for International Students Accommodation AIM for a co-ordinated approach to address the identified issues • better support for students with the issues of accommodation
Social Isolation

Visa and Legal Issues Social Network
• easing financial pressure
Issues and challenges for International students
Cultural Barrier
• ensuring and improving safety • addressing the gaps in services and information for international students • strategies for building up a support community Accommodation type
18
Language Barrier
Discrimination Public Transport Umemployment
Financial Hardship
Social Isolation • not having any support network • having to live far away from their place of study • difficulty integrating into their local community • not going out because of the high public transport cost. - The shortage of affordable housing is serious in Sydney and Melbourne. Many students crowd in groups of 10 to 20 into three and four-bedroom houses, often in unsanitary and unsafe conditions.
- Many who work are seriously exploited. Underpaid international students constitute a large and unprotected labour underclass.
-Eight students live in shared accommodation facilities. Four students live with their relatives or families, and two students reported living alone.
19
Reason for Studying in Sydney
Plan for the Future
-Hope to gain the permanent residency, desire to migrate to Australia
- Six students expressed, studying in Australia is directly associated with their wish to obtain permanent residence and live in Australia
- The re known quality of education in Sydney’s universities. - To experience city life in Australia - Relatives living here.
- Seven students expressed their wish to stay and work in Australia, - Three students wish to pursue their study in Australia
- Love for animals, nature and beaches - The affordability of tuition fees (lower than in the UK) - The recommendations from a referral agency. - Two-thirds felt lonely at some point. - More than half cited ‘’significant barriers’’ to making friends with local students.
20
- Six students said they would be returning to their home country.

ANUPAMA SAHA
“an UNCONVENTIONAL living environment which promotes SOCIAL INCLUSIVITY and is COST EFFECTIVE and SUSTAINABLE built setting” Housing in Sydney has illustrated the dilemma of density and the need for creating pleasant places to live in. Within the sector of housing for students, there has been a lack of individual residential living facilities for the students who just arrived in Sydney and wish to cope up to the new urban setting.
Elevation_ Gardeners Road
60% of the world’s population is expected to be living in cities by 2030. In particular, as Australia is a country of migrants, 54% among them are international students, with the preference of living around universities within the cities. - Any potential site around universities within the radius of 8 min bike rides could be an option for the project.
