The flooding in Kerala, India that occurred in 2018 was an unforeseen natural disaster of epic proportions. Recorded property damages in the state were billed at over a record 2.8 billion USD and took a heavy toll on the small state and its people. Rehabilitation of temporary and permanent forms were at a priority. The country witnessed the need for architectural solutions that promised to be rapid, adaptive and cost effective. Passive design techniques will slowly be replaced by design models that rely on rapid proto typing and AI based design to provide problems.
Brief Computation could help in such situations by enabling assessment of risk and generation of multiple comparable design outputs through manually configured constraints. Digital fabrication would enable for in-situ dismountable solutions. Designs with flexibility to adapt to circumstances can aid in a more robust and sustainable aspect of architecture.
Application Logistically available physical resources like shipping containers could be transported to site and converted to habitable units. Computation in such architectural forms give us the flexibility to adapt to different contexts. Further acclimatization can be enabled through integration of “IOT� and dynamic components realized by digital fabrication.
