This project aims to develop a sustainable and replicable model hamlet for tenant farmers in a region characterized by extreme weather conditions and economic challenges. The design will prioritize farmers' proximity to their fields, ensuring easy access to daily agricultural activities. Seasonal weather variations necessitate that indoor and outdoor living spaces be adaptable, providing protection from the intense summer heat and the cold winter winds. Livestock, which is integral to the farmers' livelihood, will be housed in sheds that incorporate a free stall system, facilitating easy access to grazing pastures and water sources.
The context of this project is rooted in fundraising efforts I spearheaded with my family following the devastating 2022 floods that inundated our ancestral village between the districts of Shikarpur and Jacobobad in Sindh. The excessive rainfall submerged arable land destroyed homes, and displaced thousands, leading to urgent needs for temporary housing and medical supplies. Collaborating with the Karachi Relief Trust, a disaster management voluntary organization, we provided immediate relief and now aim to establish a model farmstead to restore livelihoods and enhance economic security for the affected community. By demonstrating that a holistic farm structure can be economically beneficial for both landowners and tenant farmers, this project aspires to promote sustainable architectural practices.
