CuboidHemisphere-
Representing the static nature of structure was inspired and developed from rafts.
Underwater structure helps to resist and channel the water pressure and wave forces effectively while creating the sensation of diving in waves.
Circulation: The architecture of the villa’s circulation system came from the concept of passageways seen in coral reefs.
The villa design is of 3 levels, one of which is underwater, one of which is slightly above average water level, and a rooftop area. All spaces are designed with a notion that proportions and symmetries have the ability to create harmony and soothe the mind of residers.

KEYWORDS: Dystopia, Visualization, Alien Invasion
The extra-terrestrial invasion that overthrew Earth’s military power has shattered humanity’s legacy. It afflicted the whole human race causing famine, scarcity, and chaos among the survivors. The unforeseen arrival and confrontation of this great menace, superseding our frontiers unleash a deadly plague and a period of immense conflict. The bodily impenetrable alien entities will continue to lurk until they have professed everything that is left on Earth. The future seems desolate since the invasion has paralyzed the global economy and slaughtered millions of individuals, leaving the survivors with little choice but to seek shelter without even the most necessities. Over a few weeks, life on the planet has altered in ways we could never have imagined.

The wall markings are made on site using poles and rope. The site is then excavated and leveled using a water level. Steel posts can be erected in the corners for additional support.
The footing is done with locally available laterite stone and covered with a layer of fine soil. The trench is filled with water allowing the soil to seep in and fill the gaps between the stones.
The first layer of bag is filled with coarse aggregate and then layers of earthbags are stacked with barbed wire in between, till plinth level and wrapped with the plastic sheet.
For the plinth filling, boulders and construction waste from nearby sites were used. they were filled in small layers and then layered with fine soil. The pits were then filled with water to pack the gaps and repeated till the plinth was leveled.
Bags filled with slight moisture content soil are cut according to coarse, stacked and rammed. Window and door opening are left and leveled with cement bricks. bathroom walls are made with laterite stone. Lintel beam is casted at an height of 2.8m.
The roof frame is made with mild steel. The earthbag walls are plastered with mud plaster while the plinth layer is plastered with cement. Two layers of these are applied and smoothened out.It is let to set and a final thin layer is applied to smoothen out cracks

Old mangalore tiles are re-used for roofing. They used to be a common feature in vernacular architecture of Kerala.
The roofing frame is made of steel channels welded together. This proved to be less expensive and more lasting compared to wood
The loft becomes a hangout space for friends and family. The spaces under the roof also allow extra storage space.
Clerestory window brings in natural sunlight and helps in ventilation. It also allows people to have a view from the loft space.
Old window and door frames from demolished houses are reused. They are fixed using cement blocks and the shutters are UPVC.Various techniques of alternate construction are applied to fill the gaps under the roof, like Glass Bottle wall, Wattle and Daub and Straw Bale construction.
EXPLODED VIEW
Working on site for a few months made us appreciate the manpower that goes into the construction of a building. Giving us a shift in perspective and alongside an excitement to always look out for opportunities to build a wall within things around us. This was a collaborative effort of a few friends and family to build a low cost house in a small space.
