The site has a diversity in communities where major occupation is labour work & garbage picker. House typology differs as the community changes. Housing condition is kaccha, semi kuccha & pakka. Every dwelling has a common open space. Lanes with in slum are very narrow and the planning is squatter.General income hence is variable - average being Rs1500 - Rs3000. 42% men are daily wages laboures.Women garbage pickers earn upto Rs500 - Rs1000 per month.

DESIGN TRIGGERS Symbiotic living
Symbiotic relationship is established between two different sections of society or between the site and the neighbourhood, by providing better living environment and housing quality.
Catalysis Catalytic redevelopment to revitalise social housing using public or community spaces as catalyst which accelerates the progress of development and rejuvinate the urban fabric fabric.
Final Development plan
Convergnce Social housing is about connecting people in every aspects of their lives. Convergence of activities by both young and old dwellers in an open community space aids in the development of community.

GREY WATER
FIRE
A re hydrant system has an inlet on the periphery that can be used by the re ghters in case of emergency. Every block has a separate extinguisher connected directly to OHT.
Greywater from every dwelling unit is collected through separate pipe and dispensed into municipal sewage treatment plant.
LIGHTING
RAIN WATER PIPES
An unmetered electric layout is provided for the street lights. The distance between two street lamps is less than 30 m. Thus following the standard requirements.
Rainwater water pipe connected to each block takes the water from the terraces and is stored in the underground rainwater tank.

BASIC DESIGNS Biomimicry
Morphological Evolution The design and production of materials structures , and systems that are modelled on biological entities and processes The design, that reflects a certain freedom of form, is conceived on the basic concept Random Geometry OR Geometry in Randomness along with the use of golden ratio geometry.
Geometry and Nature In the world of natural phenomena, it is the underlying patterns of geometric form and proportion that give rise to all perceptions and identifications. Therein lies our concept to relate, to interpret and to know interpretations which are of a graphic nature.
This concept is explored in the initial models where curves are derived from circles created by incipience points.
Through the growth pattern overned by the golden ratio the design serves as a abstract growthwhich is balancing the model by its ribs which are growing .

A dynamic institution that plays a vital, but not fully appreciated or understood role in the social, economic, and physical well-being of urban areas. These spaces provide a relief from the urban intensity for residents and bring people together across social, economic and racial divides. kheta talav is a amalgamation of open air food plaza , craft bazar and religious complex connecting the old and new nadiad .unlike the traditional weekly market kheta talav is permanent. shops are permanent but the sellers will be rotated for 15-20 days. kheta talav urban park is a Urban scale which separates two urban fabric relationship. kheta talav will act as a great public space with an exploration of different activities along with natural forms. It will also meet differrent liesure and cultural axis. It act as a place of experience. cultural axis, large green open spaces give the space to interact, play relax and gather. It will invite people of all ages to experience different programmes of curved spaces.

The state of the everyday “public convenience” effects all of us, whenever we are out and about, whatever our age or background. To fulfil the requirement of every day public convenience Loo Pods act as a prototype for urban slum which would help in keeping the community intact and with a healthy enviornment
