Case Study Comparative Analysis

The document compares two housing models: Previ housing in Lima, Peru, designed for high-density urban settings with flexibility, and Belapur incremental housing in India, focused on affordable, personalized growth. Both models emphasize climate responsiveness, community interaction, and modular construction, but differ in their cultural contexts and approaches to expansion. While Previ housing utilizes passive cooling and compact units, Belapur housing promotes open-plan layouts and decentralized services for scalability.
