Tetris
Under the PMAY scheme, each unit is entitled to 100 Sq. Meters of land in the villages. The proposal looks at the possibility of creating a set of ‘ingredients‘ and not ‘recipes‘ that will enable the poor to build for themselves. The design looks at five configurations of 100 Sq. M land – broken down into smaller parcels of 25 Sq. M each – in a system that will enable interlocking in hundreds of combinations from these five permutations. The idea looks at three essential stages of housing in the villages: Occupation, Domestication and Densification.
