the project began by first observing the social activities that occur in Little India, and each student was to identify something interesting from his/her own observation, which was to become an approach in designing the housing project, by imagining a world. i observed how vehicles, along with permanent structures around it, such as pavements, and buildings, form temporary spaces, and people actually occupy them.

: drawing, illustrates relation between permanent structures and temporary elements that form temporary spaces of an intimate scale.

: having identified a common quality among the observed spaces as both intimate yet staying connected and open to the immediate spaces around, this quality of continuity is further illustrated in a model of a specified dimension (350 x 350 x 500),by using planes

: a study on the various positioning of two planes and its corresponding effects as well as perceptive spatial quality

: imagined conditions

: mapping planes of one specific dimension (enough to create bed spaces) on site and imagining activities

: creating shelter over the bed spaces, and further developing it into a green roof deck

: sectional perspective through the architecture (without cutting through planes)

: model (1:50), showing green roof deck and ground floor space

: montage of proposed low-cost housing on-site.
