"The twentieth century will be chiefly remembered by future generations not as an era of political conflicts or technical inventions, but as an age in which human society dared to think of the welfare of the whole human race as a practical objective." - Arnold Toynbee, English historian(1889-1975). The word "practical objective" here shifts the utopian ambition of human welfare,which by definition is not reachable, to a design project, a practical objective.

 “For the 200 million homeless people around the world of which 50,000 die every day, if our governments cannot build homes, can we provide them with shelters to sleep as an immediate response?

Can we provide them with the basics for every night- roof, food and sanitation facilities? I want to make multi-functional cocoons for the urban poor which can be transmuted as per needs.

This metamorphosis of shelters will also restrict these places becoming slums one day like most others. The transitions will have different functions which will ultimately decide its form and movements through out the cycle of a day.
The art and power of modern engineering with architecture can be used to come up with interesting ideas for this.”
