This is the first formal workshop with the community on ‘need for safe building standards and role of professional design expertise’. We’re also here to hear the voice of our potential clients.
We have a great set of comic strips thanks to Vyas, Robi and Marco. This is truly multidisciplinary. Lets go through them….
We talk of what will ever happen (touch wood) if Earthquake hits, already in Zone 5 areas- what earthquake resistant being means; forget earthquakes, even a big aandhi (storm) like the one that came last week.
We talk of why infectious illnesses spread? How better ventilation can make a slight difference.
We ask what they would like to change in their homes- more storage space, more privacy, a bathing/toilet area, consistent supply of electricity….
We speak of home-improvement loans, design assistance, community groups – our vision and what this partnership aims to achieve…
There is only so much you can do with 25 sqm of a plot, but we believe whatever little we bring to Mangolpuri could make a big difference.
Hey guys – what fab photos! Fab work, too, of course !! Keep it up
