Flooded areas present complex challenges requiring integrated design approaches that balance human settlement with water management. This topic explores how architects and designers address the physical, social, and environmental dimensions of flood-prone regions through innovative interventions.

The community examines strategies ranging from floating settlements and water-channeling infrastructure to community-based toolkits and renovation methods. Projects here demonstrate how design can transform flooding from a destructive force into an opportunity for resilience, food production, and improved mobility in affected communities.

SYMBIOSIS

The design proposes self sustaining neighbourhoods which are a result of self sustaining households. The neighbourhood is planned in sync, all houses are dependant on an aerial avenue running along the backyard of the dwelling units and consequently on each other. The aerial avenue allows connectivity to places even during floods.

T.I.M.E. HEALS

Habitat when tarnished disrupts lifestyle causing emotional, mental and financial losses which creates scars forever. So, it is necessary to heal from the beginning by converting the exhausting period of struggle into a motivating environment with interactive neighbourhood. Our system unites the community by various incremental measure at different levels.

Safe (X)

A planning outline for scalable 100 units regenerative community housing model is proposed and the strategies are refined from a Master plan level to dwelling unit level, along with an action plan for functionally surviving the flood. Safe (X) is a unique model which can be adapted in any location which ensures the safety of all communities considered.

Buoyant Anchor

Water Is an element which has given birth on earth and still supports it. But in 21st century and before because of increase in population and urbanization it is linked with the element which is also a cause of death. As humans we should be able to make peace with water and try to live with so this proposal is about how we can live with water & its disaster.

Rethinking Resilience

The project embraces flood as a natural phenomena as the premise to imagine the possibility of secure human habitation. With this as the central idea, the project defines resilience to be two fold- 1.to be prepared before flood. 2. sustenance and recuperating post flood scenario. In its execution, the project encapsulates this idea at three distinct scales.

A DoItYourself ToolBox for Kerala

People know their enviroments better than any outsider, so why give them ready-made solutions when we can give them the tools to solve it as they think is best? We aim to provide a ToolBox to deal with flooding that fulfill certain basic requirements so the community build it on their own, as they like and asuring their identities.

HEAL - INOVATION IN RENOVATION OF FLOOD AFFECTED

With around 120?140 rainy days per year, Kerala has a wet and maritime tropical climate influenced by the seasonal heavy rains of the southwest summer monsoon and northeast winter monsoon. Around 65% of the rainfall occurs from June to August corresponding to the Southwest monsoon, and the rest from September to December corresponding to Northeast monsoon.
