Abstract:
This thesis project attempted to find an appropriate alternative to the current model of informal settlement that is transformed from "chawls" and in reality further slumming the city , by considering a case of Thakkar Bappa colony . Also aims to improve the small scale industrial growth and living condition of community and attempts to preserve the originality of the space keeping its vibrancy intact, where the user and the work culture form the driving forces of reconfiguration. The thesis also poses a question on the current perspectives of looking at remodelling urban settlements which squeezes out the vibrancy and the cultural context of the place.
