“Add to cart” is a modern solution for micro-housing that allows a house to grow within a given space. It is designed in a way that it can be multiplied, deducted & customised as per the different stages of a man’s life and his lifestyle choices. Mumbai, a megacity, is home to many traditional communities. Some communities bear the brunt of urban sprawl & migration and are on a verge of extinction. One such is the closely knitted Koli community of fishermen, entitled as the original inhabitants of Mumbai, that are suffering an economical, social and cultural loss today. The proposed Coastal road development along the water banks will hugely affect the profession of this community, eventually leading them to migrate from their original habitation. Our concept of microhousing shall retain and uplift this community, making it viable even through rapid urbanization. 1-2% of the city land is occupied by supporting structural systems that act as dead spaces, hence these structural systems can be constructed in such a way that they can host these communities. The housing takes place along the proposed infrastructure of the coastal road, while it saves green lands from undue rehabilitation of the fishermen. It also brings them closer to their profession and proposes a waterfront development program. This is the city supporting the fishermen’s concerns, fishermen supporting the city’s concerns inturn.

RAISING SPIRITS OF ODISHA Using architecture as a catalyst for social upliftment and enrichment of vanishing cultural values
THESIS GUIDE: PROFESSOR AR. UMESH PACHIGAR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT | SEM X |FINAL DESIGN DISSERTATION | MALIB | 2018
“But, when the work was finished, the craftsman kept wishing that there were someone to ponder the plan of so great a work, to love its beauty, and to wonder at its vastness.� -Giovanni Mirandola
SWOT ANALYSIS COLLAGE FROM MY VISIT TO ODISHA The diagram explains how strengths, constraints and opportunities form different faces along any axis, and are important in defining the program and designing. 13
MASTERPLAN The proposed preposition encourages the idea of home close to work and also preserving the cultural heritage that has been residing here for decades. Such art forms have been and will always be an identity of the state and its people. It should be developed in such a way that would benefit the residents as well as many stake holders. This preposition promises to fulfill and meet the short comings faced by the artist colony, moreover improving their state of living and occupation drastically.

DIAGRAM SHOWING CIRCULATION AND ROOF SYSTEMS Education has consistently proven to be the fundamental aspect of future development, but in a country with 67% rural population, the present development of the community becomes primary. In scenarios like these, a school can not only be an educational hub but a community core. The design works best as an ideal co-working space for the school and the community artisans to work in unison. Sanitation, Food and Medication being the necessities unavailable, the design celebrates a public toilet and medication facility in-turn luring the community towards the school. Traditional arts are predominant here, the school encourages these and helps augment its future. The modular design of the classroom can be adopted anywhere invariably and can be incremented X and Y easily. The module is concepted such that it can shape-shift into larger spaces for various activities. Understanding that education is invariable of age, the program is keenly designed, independent of the grade depending on the subject adding to the flexibility. The school is programed such that the learning processes in the familiar open environment breaking the norm of a 4-walled classroom, also incu cating habits of nursery development and recycling.
