Altered houses 

Custer-Axonometric-with-Annotations-1.jpg

The houses create a new spatial affordance for people who are re using the dilapidated houses as a resistance of stay. The broken houses create their own nuances with its type, fragmented structure which creates living conditions for other forms of species. The intermittent spaces are used as storage of tetrapods and stones which are used for construction of the sea wall. The spaces which create moisture conditions where small niches are created like barks of the trees, smashed roots, fallen trees, broken facades, cracked walls, lying furniture, piled sand, interlocked stones, fuzzy grass are habituated by insects and species of lizards and snakes  like bugs, dragonflies, fireflies, chameleons and house lizards. Birds like kingfisher, sparrow, ducks, seagull, herons are seen near the blocked channel. Amphibian snakes, frogs, tadpoles, lizards are observed on the moist conditions of the channel. The newly constructed houses are inhabited by fishermen who practice deep sea fishing in the sea. The houses are frame structures built in concrete. The landscape around thus shapes itself imbibing a sense of blur in between the built and land. Thus, these spatial affordances are not only distinctive in a sense of its broken conditions but houses and creates smooth disjunction with newly emerging life forms and the human species.
