Against the backdrop of the widespread damage caused by the Super Cyclone ‘Amphan’ in May 2020, we are calling the students of architecture, planning and design community to propose design alternatives for a Homestead for a Family in the Sundarbans and rise to the occasion to contribute to the society at large.
The proposed design should be:
• Resilient to natural hazards like, cyclone and flood
• Sustainable by minimizing damages to the ecosystem
• Creative in design expression and resolution while responding to the culture of the place
• Affordable to the users for cost-effective construction and maintenance
• Implementable for fast scaling up of the execution by the authorities, NGOs and individuals
