Dissertation: Designing an Inclusive housing model in India: A
perspective for the elderly.
This dissertation aimed to unfold the concern of housing the
elderly in India where the intention of
providing care homes for the elderly is not widely practiced,
although there is a need to understand
and develop sensitive solutions for the same. It generated
indications which will help develop an
inclusive model of housing for the elderly in India after
careful consideration of what has been
happening in other countries for many years. The dissertation
was able to study the research aims in
three broad ways: by understanding the need of the emerging
problem in India and the nature of theuser; by understanding
extensively how the western nations confront the issue as they have
been
trying to evolve in terms of policies, provision of care
facilities and built environments since many
years; and lastly by building the understandings of the Indian
user and the solutions sought by the
western nations on the grounds of Indian context. The
conclusions included the fragments of ideas
that can be adopted, modified and imbibed as per local Indian
cultures from the already established
examples of the west and new ideas were discussed that are
likely to be feasible in the Indian society.

climate. The design aimed at building
self-sufficient information centre which makes use of the
climatic and site features and zero carbon
technologies.
Perspective of habitat in India: A sustainable approach:
