India is blessed with rich tribal culture and traditional background which is quiet indigenous and diversifed throughout the extent of the nation. Tribal population here is over-dependent on agriculture and forest-related livelihood sources.

However, since post-independence period more than half of the country’s tribal population now resides outside their traditional habitats in search of job opportunities and livelihood.

This distress migration amid an ominous rural economy has renedered their ability to utilize the abundant supply of forest resources and traditional practices useless.

The central idea was to develop a self-sustainable tribal development module by channelizing their resources and skill sets and integrating it with the idea of tourism to bridge the growing gap between the tribal and rural population.

The monotony of a plain surface is broken down by using vertical glazing and horizontal inserts of stained glass pattern at regular intervals for the podium level.

The different geometries of the colonial architecture of bandra are adopted for the podium facade design and the overall facade of the building. Each cluster would have its own geometry and character that would define its streets, nodes & junctions. The diversity in the facades would create a unique mental perception for every cluster.
