Incremental Strategy of Settling the Nomads, Ulaanbaatar
Programmatic Infrastructure, Modular Prototype, 1:1 Mock up
Mongolia is undergoing a rapid urban transformation. The socio-political condition together with the economic hardship trigger off a large scale rural migration which makes more and more Mongolian move from their fields to the city’s territory. Ger district is fomed as the settlement by those upcoming migrants. Unfortunately, these districts lack basic intrastructural support. The Mongolian family living there urgently need both programmatic and infrastructural improvements. They wish to eventually have a house for their permanent settlement. Nevertheless, they need to deal with the present living hardship and have to purchase and build some temporary programmatic addon to maintain basic living quality.
Concrete programmatic modules made by pre-fabricated formwork will be the key driving direction of the upcoming research and strategic approach towards the incremental improvement of Ger district in Mongolia. Series of testing models from 1:50 to 1:5 scale, from conceptual to more reality based, are used to experiment the possibility of the idea of modularity and system allocation, turning theory to more solid design execution. We are not only testing the module itself, but also the formwork and way of making in order to assess and justify the design in relate to the upcoming 1:1 on site experimental fabrication in Mongolia.
