Jury Comments
A very well thought out and workable design solution.
Sensitive and minimal architectural intervention.
The architectural solution could have been more ernphasised on and in detail.


The thesis describes the ways to change the deprived living condition af Mishing people by developing the man-made forest. Mola Kathoni Mishingpeople or mising also called miri are an ethnic tribal group and are the second largest tribal group in north-east India. They are an important part of assamese society. Molai Kathoniis the wortd's first man-made forest created by Jadav Payengwho belong to this tribe. He started planting trees since 1979 to sustain the rich bio - diverse ecology near Brahmaputra. 

This forest is now an ecosystem in its own. The thesis revolves around the idea of developing the existing tribal village thereby improving their living conditions along river Brahmaputra near Molai Kathoni, and most importantly to bridge the void between the city and the forest through architecture, considering the village as
the essential node. The thesis attempts to strengthen the importance of this transitional stage through organic intervention. For reviving the tribal settlement of the village various structures are proposed, revived and retained. The new proposals for the site area are rotational units, which consist of Morungs, mitigation space and governing body of the village. Other facilities include viewing tower, interaction space and shaded structures. The structures that need reconstruction include homestay units, residential units, residential module for weavers, Shiva temple, retail shops and residential units  for villagers.
