Jury Comments
" A clear set of working drawings and diagrams have been produced.
" The approach is clinical and rigid.
" Importance should have been given to bring people together for interaction rather than isolating the clusters in the design.

This study focuses on internal migration which is further divided into Inter-state and Intra-State migration of labour that is from rural/semi rural areas to urban areas. The two aspects i.e migration and urbanization are interlinked. they can be looked at as global as well as local processes that influence both, the areas of destination as well as the origin. The recent resurgence and demand in the potential of small enterprises in promoting employment and economic generation have led to the development and growth of 'industrial clusters. The thesis is a modest attempt to examine an industrial cluster in India and address the problems related to migrant labour in the cluster. The study narrows down to the
state of Gujarat, which in recent years has been a favorable destination for migrants. It aims on improving the lifestyle of the factory workers residing within the cluster
by providing a sustainable living environment with a sustainable neighborhood. The objective is to inculcate the idea of a community and neighborhood, fostering interaction between workers of different factories and providing access to public amenities within reach. The proposal strives to attain the street character of Morbi by introducing chowks,
courtyards, bends along the road to a point where streets no longer just serve the purpose of movement, they develop as key elements for communal interaction. The thesis tends
to address the complex demands put forth by rapid urbanization, culture, and climate in the industrial environment. The program provides a solution to a complex problem, one which can be seen in all Industrial clusters in lndia: providing reasonable accommodation to the factory masses. That being said, the envisaged project adopts principles of design from the existing fabric of Morbi, while significantly reducing ceramic waste by using it as raw material as  a partial replacement of aggregates and sand during manufacture. It is visualized, the design will eventually blend in with the existing fabric, where it will be used as a thoroughfare by the people residing, working, visiting the vicinity. thus fostering communal interaction.
