This project explores the concept of disaster as an opportunity to revamp society focused on flood resilience. While prioritizing the protection of human lives, the project emphasizes the neglected aspects of communal and cultural values within society. By incorporating disaster-resilient design principles, the project aims to create dwellings that not only withstand floods but also reflect the cultural context of the site. The design emphasizes communal spaces that foster a sense of collective living and joint efforts during times of disaster. Separate communal spaces are tailored to cater to the needs of both men and women, ensuring privacy and promoting collective activities. Additionally, the project includes a dedicated collective livestock space to safeguard the valuable assets of the community. From material selection to structural details, flood resilience is given paramount importance, while the overall layout and design accommodate the preferences and lifestyle of the inhabitants of Delay. By addressing both the physical and social needs of users, the project serves as a catalyst for community resilience and fosters a collective approach to coping with disaster.
