Design Of Flood Resilient Housing

Project idea

The project focuses on developing context-sensitive, adaptive dwelling systems that enhance community safety, mitigate environmental risk, and promote long-term resilience in flood-prone regions. To fulfill the design objectives, the team here aimed to introduce a modular household along maintaining the community activities
The project is about flood resilient housing for the char area of the Jamuna river in Bangladesh where people are habited to stay a flat land. They are facing monsoon flood 1-3 times a year. It connects strongly with your broader work on flood-resilient architecture and community-based design in Bangladesh. Char Maijbari is a riverine (char) settlement shaped by seasonal flooding, erosion, and socio-economic vulnerability. The project focuses on creating a resilient, adaptive, and community-centered built environment.

Project description

1.Suggesting foldable floor plate people can vary the height during flood level again lift the floor during normal days.
2.Toilet amphibious solution.
3.Community participation

Technical information

Housing technique where floor plate modular & can be folded and store .The toilet is also modular, as the floor acts as a mechanism. Only the pipe which directs the waste at the floor tank gets extended when the floor is placed upward.
