Project Summary
The capstone focuses on the urban street vendors in Indore, India, who perform their daily occupational activities in uninhabitable, unhealthy spaces (without proper sanitation services) and in unhygienic polluted environments. These conditions highlight experiences and social trauma faced by most urban street vendors in India. The capstone aims to fulfill the basic requirement of inclusive infrastructure, which devotes itself to the improvement of informal occupations like street vending, which can be integrated with the current urban streets-cape planning system.
Analysis
In context with Maslow Law, the research is done through the thinking pad set of twelve 11 X 17 maps that study the physical, political and cultural components of Indore at four scales each: individual, communal, systemic, and planetary.
