I completely agree! Spread the good news. How many initiatives like this do we see? People think the latest hip is new flashy design – that sells. This doesn’t. The Incremental Housing Strategy is far more important in today’s world…

POVERTY PORN – ! All we need is for western architects to put into words and theories the actions of others, add colours and publish a book/paper…….where would we be without you guys?

It’s a good start. However lot’s to be done. improvisation would always be necessary from block to block. However scope for power saving should be kept in mind when floors keep on rising. the floor below need more lighting and ventilation load.
keep up the good work.

This solution does not address urban design issues. Civic anenities, sanitation, transport, green areas, microclimate and many other issues like security, energy etc. are overlooked. I would be more convinced if services were integrated into the architectural solution offered.
In short this is a rather simplistic solution to a very serious problem of housing for urban poor in India. the growth of slums has to do a lot with 1. Economics and 2. security. Main reasons for migrants clubbing together in urban villages. If law and order along with transport could be improved most of these clusters can be relocated/ decongested, thereby improving the quality of life for everyone.
