A crisis which would result in the sudden influx of one million people into the city. A hyper resilient city with emphasis on the built form and the systems involved in the functioning of the city. Since, there is a urgency of the construct, therefore a response that can be implemented in as less a time span.
TROPHY BRIEF
The large scale events that happen in a country displaces large groups of people from the places. So, we designed different housing techniquies to accommodate them. The design involves a permanent core which includes all services for the temporary housing that surrounds the core. Since temporary, can be placed at different parts of the city.

INTRODUCTION

“Nature gets it right. Human intervention gets it wrong.” ~Dr. Libby Weaver

The mindless actions of humans has led to the destruction of resources, very often, with the realisation dawning upon them only when it’s nearly too late. Once faced with a need, humans are nothing short of rampant in their activities to procure what they need. The lack of knowledge about the extent of requirements, the ambitiousness and unending greed of humans has created more problems than the ones solved. Although it is a sad plight, one cannot deny the presence of an opportunity to revive the dying landscape to its former glory, albeit in a modified form. For, how much ever one tries to bring down the beauty of nature, nature
always triumphs.
SITE CONTEXT AND CLIMATE
VEGETATION
The destructive actions of humans themselves sometimes have potential in making the sites picturesque, albeit unintentionally. Examples of such “accidental landscapes” would include caves and quarries. These landscapes are unconventional, yet daringly beautiful, as they lack the straightforward elements often seen in landscaping. Finding a way to reconnect the people with these landscapes through collective ownership, will make way for the beauty to be sustained.

SITE JUSTIFICATION The site (granite quarry and the stone crusher factory ajdacent to it), is located along the Same Murugan temple, making the locality culturally rich. The form of the quarry is a physical reminder of the recorded past of industrialisation, forming an irreparable scar on the landscape. The quarry depth ranging from 500 ft to 300 ft deep acts like a void formed within the urban fabric and is not only neglected but also adds to the security and safety concerns of the local settlement. Local residents have adapted themselves to the presence of the quarry albeit the land being a wasteland owing to poor planning and poorer policies. These factors have inhibited the growth of the locality physically and socially, eliminating their chance at a prosperous life away from the quarry.
Latent heat absorption for internal temperature of the quarry.
CHALLENGES FOR THE SITE
Prosopis Juliflora, a foreign invasive weed, brought to Southern India by the British, locally called karuvelam, constitutes most of vegetation in and around of the quarry. Saggy foliage, deep roots, water and nutrient hogging trait, excessive CO2 release, outcompeting nature among other coexisting indegenous vegetation, has significantly destroyed the natural habitat and had an adverse effect on the ecology.
REFLECTING THE HISTORY
Quarry was privately owned until 80s, after which government took over the control. Dangerously increasing depth resulted in frequent accidents and eventually government had to stop the quarrying after it was banned in 2005.

Working in special sites such as this quarry, the idea is to reveal the power gravel substr of the site through subtle interventions where the strength of the project Avenue le is not derived from the use of grandiose measures, but in the recognition zag for and enhancement of its intrinsic qualities. As landscape architects we must establish ourselves as developers of “hidden” realities. Additionally, the design objective is to induce an element of curiosity for the visitor, each time SUBDUing social marginality he visits. The vision was also to dare to adopt unconventional strategies of making an interesting encounter between the old and the contemporary The site chosen is home to a settlement on one languages of design. side, a national highway on the other, and a mining quarry in between, which at first presented itself as a method to provide employment for the people in the area. After the mining site became inactive, it began to act both as a physical as well as a virtual barrier between these spaces, It also aims to develop the interr making the settlement isolated from the rest of flow to the settlement, in tur the society. Therefore, the design intimates in societies under the same shel recreating and integrating the lost connection development of the declining between the two different societies, by breaking the socio-economic status of th the barrier and giving continuity to the cut-off streets.
