THE SITE IS MORVA VILLAGE, MIRA-BHAYANDAR. THE 4m WIDE ROAD WHICH LEADS TO THE VILLAGE IS SANDWITCHED BY SALT PANS, WHERE DURING THE SUMMERS, SALT IS PRODUCED AND STORED IN LARGE HEAPS FOR SELLING PURPOSES.
OBSERVATION
How the intensity of glare from the salt pans and the hot humid weather during summers makes one feel.
IDEATION
My design idea is to create a shelter that is shaded, dark, cool, ventilated, and comforting. The shelter will be a place where people can rest and feel protected from the harsh environment around them. The area is surrounded by salt pans and water, which cause strong sunlight and glare. The hot and humid weather makes it uncomfortable, and there is very little wind to help cool the space during summer. This shelter will block the harsh glare and provide shade, keeping it cooler inside. It will also allow air to flow through so people can feel fresh and comfortable. The space will be relaxing and peaceful, helping people escape the heat and humidity. By using simple and natural methods, the shelter will create a safe and enjoyable environment for anyone who needs relief from the tough conditions outside.
