Aashray
TRANSIT ACCOMMODATION
About
Rishika Jain, Reshav Kundu and I worked together on this project as a part of Tata Steel Design Track. Ashray is a novel concept of transit accommodation, with the primary objective of giving those affected by natural disasters not just refuge but also hope and strength for the future.
The area provides room for ventilation and light in addition to meeting its fundamental demands. The overall design of the structure is modular. It is a flat-pack solution for easy transport and installation. Our team was fortunate, as Aashray won the first prize at the Tomorrow Lab competition.
