URBAN APPROACH TO HUMANITARIAN DESIGN : . [ THESIS  - AGORA ]

"In order for hope to spark the mind; we must first plant the seed which bears the fruit of humanity." 

Natural disasters have always been looked at as something which can only cause a negative impact on a community or a nation. In this project a new perspective is introduced; as to how one can churn something harmful and turn it into something beneficial.

 

Focusing on the flooding situations in Pakistan, a scenario planning method is applied to show both readers and designers several different ways these type of disasters can be tackled. Ultimately leading down a path which turns the force of nature into a stroke of opportunity; not only for the people affected, but for the overall community and the urban district, eventually making an impact on the nation itself. 

 

This masterplan contains methods of how flood waters can be channeled throughout previously abandoned areas of the ‘Kashmore’ district of Pakistan; and bring those areas back to life, for agricultural growth and industrial development. Rendering over 85% of all flood related damages obsolete.
