study of slums and the minimal use of a space for any activity

2. Formation of
streets which seem
to be as a series of
colonnades
The houses were
arrangedin such a
way that at the end
of streets a “chowk”
got formed and all
the entrance of the
house faced the
chowk.
This arrangement
seems to have more
of a social life than
people living in
appartments

4. The image shows
the locking
mechanism of the
houses
And sometimes the
people did not even
have lock for the
house as its said by
them –“we have got
nothing to secure “.
Hence in the
second image one
can observe the
absence of main
entry and only the
cloth is used to
cover the entrance

5. The house was
2x2 mtsq.
A family of 3 people
lives in the house

6. Towards the house
Most of the time is
spend outside the
house by the child
and the woman

7. The “chulha” made
out of stone is kept
just a 50cm away
from the entrance
As there is just one
opening which
could provide
ventilation in the
house, the residents
comes to just eat
and sleep in the
room
