Introduction
Housing for construction workers in this particular case study is looked through the analytical themes such as actor networks, materiality, economics, scalability, replicability, socio-spatial relations, technology and temporality.
Actor Networks
The actors in this particular case have been divided into providers, promoters and maintainers.
Providers: Nebula Group, NEPRA, SAATH, Aajeevika bureau, Indian Oil, A.K. Gas Service, 4th Wheel Impact, Banka Bioloo, HATCH Workshop.
Promoters: Nebula Group, NEPRA ,SAATH ,Aajeevika bureau, Indian Oil ,A.K. Gas Service ,4th Wheel Impact ,Banka Bioloo ,HATCH Workshop.
Maintainers: Nebula Group ,SAATH ,Aajeevika bureau ,4th Wheel Impact
Some of these entities provided their effort to the project through architectural, design, engineering,
waste management, health, education, sanitation and household services.
T
Materiality:- The aspect of materiality can be looked at through resolution of issues on site by the use of a certain material or technique to enter this dimensions key problems were addressed which are as follows :
Leveling of the whole site.
Proper drainage system for storm water especially during monsoons.
Green net and white net for ventilation.
Gas services.
Fire extinguishers and training.
Scalability and Replicability:-
Dimensions:- 3x3m units and 3x6m units
2.4 - 2.9m clear height
Claimed to be dismantlable and replicable on any new site after basic leveling and (P.C.C).plinth creation.
Technology and Temporality:-
Temporality of the migrant workers has been thought of but the joinery techniques may not look complex to a designer they still need more simplification and the expectations of it being dismantled and reused by the workers needs to be rethought.
Socio-Spatial Relations:-
Spaces like Verandhas were created with a particular intentions of creating social spaces for adults.
Creches, Classroom and Playground are created social spaces for children.
