This film provides a valuable insight on the propriety of Appropriate Technologies towards efficiency in planning and constructing buildings. It does away with the catachresis of "Low-Cost" housing and insists on the importance of applying traditional architectural principles in contemporary building practice by reintroducing domes and jack-arches as as alternate and appropriate system of building. The Bhoomiheen Camp, which is a case in point, curbs social and physical irritants such as political intervention, commercial encroachment and illegal vertical expansion, while maintaining beautiful architectural elements and features previously unheard of in "Low-Cost" redevelopment projects.
