Every village runs on three things before anything else: what it eats, what it wears, and how it shelters itself. Roti, Kapda, Makaan — the phrase is so embedded in Indian civic language that it has become almost invisible. This project makes it visible again, in the specific, textured, irreducible reality of one place: Detad, a village of 1,014 people in Amreli District, Gujarat. Developed as part of a field-based learning course at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad — guided by faculty Sarika Samdani and Shilpi Munda — the project required stepping fully out of the classroom and into the village: observing, interacting, mapping, and documenting across days of direct immersion. The result is a set of four editorial publications that progress in scale, depth, and physical size as the study moves from overview to intimate detail.
