This picture is of Aranya Low Cost housing designed by B.V.Doshi in city of Indore in Madhya Pradesh State of India. To talk more specifically of the location of the image in the housing, it is a construction site in the Lower Income Group Housing. The construction material used here are bricks, steel, cement and concrete.Although bricks can be bake in the country itself, cement and concrete were originated in England. This method of building construction using these globalized materials became common after the British Rule in India. Th primitive Indian structures were made of loam, mud, straw or cow dung. In context of Madhya Pradesh State of India, Bamboo is the local material. Using globalized materials are not whims of the rich but also the poor has started using these materials over primitive ones. The masses have forgotten the strength and sustainability the local materials have. The globalization has taken such a surge that the indigenous is being underestimated and therefore ignored. Even the water storage tank shown in the picture is made of Bakelite, originated in America.
