Key words: Resilience I Mangroves I Community
Despite their priceless importance, mangrove forests are under threat. Over a third have already disappeared, and in regions such as the WESTERN COAST OF INDIA, they are being cleared at an unimagible rate for recclamation and large infrastructural projects. One such mega-infrstructural project is the in progress N.M.I.A., finding base at a site that has been approved despite destroying 4000 acres of mangroves and displacing 10 fishing villages including 3500 families. The compensation provided to the families by C.I.D.C.O. included house allocation but does not provide any means of livelihood rendering thousands jobless.
MENTOR
Ar. Milind Merchant
This project looks at rehabilitating the uprooted families in close link with the mangroves with an intentions of not stripping them of their livelihood. With an expectation that they serve as guardian to the treasure that mangroves are and continue their activities in a sustainable manner, a micro functional ECOSYSTEM Inspired by the resilience and redundance of mangroves, shall provide the mangrove community with safe habitation, secured means of livelihood, equitable amenities all while serving as a framework for community growth and developement.

According to the design stratergy imbibed by the resilient mangroves, the structure was designed to withstand almost any innundation with specific focus on material and structural strength. The material of choice here was SEASONED BAMBOO. It not only provides the necessary degree of firmness to flexibility - but also makes adaptability convinient.

The project's vision was to craft a cutting-edge, environmentally sustainable campus, harmonizing with the natural landscape to foster a vibrant and healthy atmosphere while remaining cost-effective and restorative in its ethos. Nestled within a hilly terrain marked by diverse contours and rocky outcrops, the site naturally features several water bodies. The primary challenge lay in preserving the site's inherent beauty while developing the campus.
Designed to inspire, the campus embodies its vision by seamlessly blending human-made structures with the surrounding environment. Through strategic zoning and thoughtful planning, the layout prioritizes walkability, accessibility, and liveliness, fostering a dynamic and engaging community. Located in Gopanpally, Ranga Reddy District, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, spanning across 194.20 acres adjacent to the University of Hyderabad, the campus stands as a testament to sustainable design and ecological stewardship.
