We, the students of A21, had visited Ratnagiri on settlement study work. Upon reaching the site, we were divided into groups that would be looking at 5 aspects of how life works at the site and how there is a relationship between work, economic activity, and building form. Broadly, the ‘Physicality of Habitation’. The 5 groups were Village, Economy, Construction, Houses, and Cultural. The site chosen for the study was in the village of Sadamiriya, along the White Sea.
My Group was supposed to make a plan and section of a house in the village.
This was the house I chose to study. The unique thing about the houses in the village was the rooms in the house didn't have one distinct entrance or exit and weren't divided into the living room, bedroom, or kitchen. The houses also didn't have a fixed boundary. They used to increase the number of rooms as the number of people increased.
