About Aranya Low-Cost Housing

This article is part of Infrastructural Urbanism , a series curated by Hidden Architecture where we explore the evolutionary potential over time of certain urban and architectural structures. The infrastructural nature of these projects allows them to accommodate and assume the uncertainty of future development as a project tool. Este articulo es parte de Urbanismo Infraestructural , serie que explora el potencial evolutivo a lo largo del tiempo de determinadas estructuras urbanas y arquitectónicas. El carácter de infraestructura de estos proyectos les permite albergar y asumir la incertidumbre de un desarrollo futuro como herramienta de proyecto. The Aranya low-cost housing project, in the Indian city of Indore, was developed by the Vastu-Shilpa Foundation, headed by Balkrishna Doshi, starting in 1989. The main value of this project lies in its novel operational strategy for the development of housing, built with very limited financial and material resources, in contexts of social vulnerability. Instead of assuming a closed planning, the architectural team proposed an open model capable of evolving over time, based on the construction of some minimal infrastructural elements and facilities. El proyecto de viviendas de bajo coste de Aranya, en la ciudad india de Indore, fue desarrollado por la Vastu-Shilpa Foundation, con Balkrishna Doshi a la cabeza, a partir del año 1989. El valor principal de este proyecto reside en plantear una novedosa estrategia operativa para el desarrollo de viviendas, ejecutadas con recursos económicos y materiales muy escasos, en contextos de vulnerabilidad social. En lugar de asumir un planeamiento cerrado, el equipo de arquitectura propuso un modelo abierto capaz de evolucionar a lo largo del tiempo, a partir de la construcción de unos elementos dotacionales e infraestructurales mínimos. The site provided for this purpose in the Aranya neighbourhood had an area of 85 hectares, where 6500 dwellings were to be developed.
