Kerala Floods: Projects, Journals & Ideas

About Discussions Projects11 Journals23 Competitions1

Kerala's monsoon floods present ongoing challenges for housing, infrastructure, and communities. Designers and architects working in this space develop solutions that balance immediate recovery needs with long-term resilience, exploring how built environments can coexist with seasonal water systems rather than resist them.

The community examines flood-resilient housing typologies, adaptive renovation strategies, and nature-inspired design approaches. Projects range from flexible emergency shelters and elevated residential models to regenerative systems that integrate floodwaters as resources for community benefit.

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.

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.

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.

A flexible and economic bandage for Aluva

Inspired by the traditional boats of Kerala and the principle of Vastu Shastra, the prototype was designed as a flexible, multi-functional, economic and 'easy to construct' floating structure which works according to the level of the flood. It's using local and sustainable materials and can be transposed everywhere during emergency cases.

NavJeevan

Our concept of Kerala Regenerative Housing is based on the idea of compactness along with interaction with nature, where each housing unit has been designed keeping in mind environmental sustainability. It adopts the idea of utilizing waste, local material and vernacular architecture characteristics.

Refloat Kerala

The Project will bring 100 houses together considering that the houses must respond to the climatic conditions, a lot of heat and precipitations, the connecting walkways are the articulators of the new urban fabric. These new housing cells maintain Kerala's own dispersion logics, but with two connecting axes, an elevated walkway and a water channel.
