INTRODUCTION
According to the United Nation’s The world cities 2018,it is estimated that, “by 2030, urban
areas are projected to house 60 percent of people globally and one in every three people will
live in cities with at least half a million inhabitants.”
With more and more migrants coming into bigger cities, it has become increasingly difficult
for workers to find an affordable place to live. Some people decide to move away from urban
centers and bear with the lengthy commute time, while others are seeking creative design
solutions to transform their home into a tiny functional space to meet their daily needs.
RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATION:
NEED FOR HOUSING :
MICRO HOUSING AND CO LIVING :
A microapartment, also known as a microflat, is a one-room, self-contained living space,
usually purpose built, designed to accommodate a sitting space, sleeping space, bathroom and
kitchenette with 14–32 square metres (150–350 sq ft).
The word co-living means unrelative people living together in one apartment where each
family has his own private unit independent to each other and connected by big space with
shared facilities.
The big visible change was the progressive ageing of the population.:data reported by
eurostat says that 60 years the age bracket will increase to 161 million in 2060.
The forecast in the future there will be more older people than under 15. In 50 years the ratio
will become as 8:10.
Estimates calculated that by 2060,there will approximately 67 million retired people against
50 million active one which will deeply affect the economy.
CO-LIVING - SOLUTION:
However, there wont be any relatives to take care them.
Concept of co-living will be a solution for both the youngstar and elderly people.
The poor economic factors and unemployment acts as a pushing factor for the people to
migrate into urban areas. By 2050,it is estimated that 75 % of the population will be having
their habitat in urban areas.
So,housing policy that should satisfy both the needs should be proposed.
They can be categorized as:
1) SINGLE ADULT -composed by people living alone
2) SINGLE ADULT PLUS - composed by 2 single adult person
3) COUPLE PLUS ADULTS-composed by a couple without children who decided to host
another person
4) FAMILY PLUS ADULTS-made by family with one adult
5) FAMILY PLUS FAMILY - made by 2 families living together
6) FAMILY IN UNCONVENTIONAL HOUSING CONDITIONS- mix of 2 three families.
The housing typologies that were designed in tradional way are not suitable anymore. The
social and familiar changes require new kind of aparment ,characterized by a layout that can
be adaptable for any changes in life due to work,studies,familiar and economic reasons.

AIM
The aim of thesis is to provide and satisfy the needs of both family,adult, and elderly through
housing typologies and planing aspects.
OBJECTIVES 
 To study about the gradual change from past to present in the field of housing typology.
 To provide aminities for the elderly people and creating a friendly envirnoment inside the
house. 
 To satisfy the need of housing for the migrants.

METHODOLOGY
 Study about the urban migrants in particular location (age wise) and exploring the
various posibilities in design.
 Studing the past family housing typologies and remodeling it according to the cuurent
scenerio.
 Figure out the necessities for the elderly people.

SCOPE 
 A futuristic concept that has redefined the way millenials live is co-living
 As we move towards a new world order that believes more in sharing rather than owning,
renting seems like an obsolete affair. 
 Providing the Architectural identity to the region through spatial arrangements.
 As house is where the heart is, Spaces that enhances and enlighten the soul can be
provided.

INTRODUCTION :

Tamil Nadu is one of the leading agriculture-oriented states with a total cultivable area of
59.73 lakh hectares. The State’s annual grain production has remained above 100 MT over
the last eight years while the State is the largest producer of cotton yarn, accounting for 41
per cent of India’s production. Despite the inherent constraints like scarcity of water, the
State has maintained a robust policy stance to support growth in agriculture production,
increase in farm income and enhanced technology integration to increase productivity and
yield.

ILLUSTRATION :

Due to the absence of a dedicated and integrated infrastructure facilities with an enabling
ecosystem, the State has decided to establish Food Parks to provide state of the art
infrastructure for food processing in the country and to provide a mechanism for producers,
processors and retailers to work together to build the supply chain for enhanced value
additions.

RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATION

As part of its diversification activities and in view of increased needs for food products and to
ensure requisite quality standards for these products, SIPCOT is now proposing to develop
Food Parks, with possible grant assistance under Mega Food Parks Scheme (MFPS) of
Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI), Government of India. In the first phase,
SIPCOT proposes to develop five Food Parks at Bargur, Theni, Manapparai, Tindivanam and
Nagapattinam which would have food processing infrastructure facilities and food processing
units (hereinafter referred to as the “Food Parks” or the “Projects”). SIPCOT is planning to
prepare the detailed project report through for develop and implement Food parks at five
locations viz., Bargur, Theni, Manapparai, Tindivanam and Nagapattinam through a qualified
Consultant.

AIM :

• To design a food park that Enhances farmer's income by better utilization and value
addition of agricultural produce and Minimize wastage at all stages in the food processing
chain by the development of infrastructure for storage, transportation and processing of agro-
food produce.

OBJECTIVE :

The primary objective of the Food parks is to provide modern infrastructure facilities for the
food processing along the value chain from the farm to the market.
It will include creation of processing infrastructure near the farm, transportation, logistics and
centralized processing centers.
The main feature of the Scheme is a cluster-based approach.

The expected outcome is increased realization for farmers, creation of high quality processing
infrastructure, reduction in wastage, capacity building of producers, processors and creation
of an efficient supply chain along with significant direct and indirect employment generation
SCOPE

 Enhance farmer's income by better utilization and value addition of agricultural produce.
 Minimize wastage at all stages in the food processing chain by the development of
infrastructure for storage, transportation and processing of agro-food produce.
 Introduce of modern technology into the food processing industries from both domestic
and external sources. •
 Encourage R&D in food processing for product and process development and improved
packaging.
 Provide policy support, and support for creation of Infrastructure, capacity expansion/
Upgradation and other supportive measures form the growth of this sectors; and
 Promote export of processed food products
