Focusing on boundaries, privacy, community, level, sustainability, modular construction is good, but designed spaces looks a bit boring or noisy (specially wood louver on facade and solar power roof top.) And presentation should be more sophisticated both exterior and interior renderings. Idea should be presented in more simple way.
My shelter/My
Very nice! I love the Idea!
explanations: 1- The concept behind the design: The general idea was to propose a project of individual housing, for the homeless, so that they feel at home, free of their movements, and free in their space, we tried to avoid the vertical construction , so as not to disfigure the direct environment of the project. 2- Explain the functionality: The functionality of the project is meant to be simple, because A complex project makes the space hostile to children or people who need guidance and assistance. So the project will be divided into two parts; a front block with all the activities necessary for the homeless to help them move forward, evolve and build themselves, and another part that of accommodation, with individual housing, that the occupant can appropriate and develop according to these needs. 3- Explain the movement of users: The movement within the project is fluid and above all easy to read, to give confidence to the people who are there and not to complicate their movement. 4- Construction technique: The designed shelter is made of wood, constructed in a way that makes its provision urgently possible so its construction will only take a few hours. 5- Ventilation and aeration: The accommodations are well ventilated and lit on the first day, two plots of vegetable gardens will be made available to the occupant either for his own production or for sale at the market created near the entrance. We have thus given great importance to the quality of the space, its ventilation and its sunshine to give these people in need the feeling of having a decent home.

Implementing Traditional methodologies in incremental housing model
This dissertation explores the integration of traditional architectural methodologies into incremental housing models, aiming to create contextual and adaptable living environments. The research investigates how vernacular principles, construction techniques, and spatial practices can inform contemporary housing approaches while allowing residents to gradually evolve and personalize their homes.

AABHAS -a sense of home
They build our cities, yet live without a place in them. This project reimagines housing for migrant workers-not as shelter, but as dignity. Modular, mobile, and co-created, it moves with them, grows with them, and uplifts their families with creche, workshops, and safe spaces. A home that respects culture, empowers women, and builds community.dfbhsetnhjsetn

The mixture and random connection of multiple squares of different dimensions created an intimate, secure and ambiguous space.

the Plug-in House
A fresh new design that utilises condensed urban areas in a smart way. This lego-like House shows the future living style: fun, relaxing, efficient, and flexible. A plug-in system allows occupants to design, customize, and set up by their needs and assemble each unit into the whole building.
A strong and socially relevant thesis with a clear human-centered position. Further development of implementation strategies could make this thoughtful urban approach even more impactful.
Well done! Keep up the excellent work!
