@warikoo I wonder if this has something to do with disparity in rental cost vs buying cost? Surprised to see Guwahati being so unaffordable. I estimate the rental prices there are super low.

💸 Is it affordable? Can disadvantaged groups use it?
🏗️ What infrastructure will it require & who should pay?
🛴 Will it increase or reduce total vehicle travel?

When flaxseed oil is poured over an earthen floor, it dries to form a plastic-like, waterproof and sustainable resin that glues the surface together https://t.co/scYAPZsxgV

This is precisely why affordable housing is still a myth in many places. Because there is the idea that such top-down approaches will work, that modularity is the sole solution to affordability. Or even that architecture can alone solve the affordable housing crisis.

[Surjyatapa Ray @surjyarc]

@dezeen How far do we think top down models of affordable housing will go? That again looking at affordability as a fixed number and not a spectrum.

Designers don’t have to be agents of murder, torture, assault and trauma inflicted on Black communities, poor communities, women, femme & LGBTQ folks.

We can be otherwise!

[Surjyatapa Ray @surjyarc]

@archinect @NewsArch Probably why the architectural and construction narrative should shift from aesthetics to a profession responsible for lives on many levels.
