This has to be brought about by design interventions and use of proper technologies to let in sunlight, oxygen, and other important requirements. Underwater homes should also fall into an affordable category to suffice the need and be more feasible than any proposed space colony. This will be a direct result of the materials and techniques that will be employed. Thus touching upon those topics will significantly add to the sea of resources. All along the research, the main objective is to answer key questions like: How can we return to the origin of all life? Is housing underwater a practical solution to the increasing need for housing? What is the key design consideration for building homes underwater? In this research paper, the history and existing examples are studied in order to understand the complexity of coming up with a habitable underwater space and the limitations involved. Design considerations pertaining to the form and geometry of the space is explored through case studies and conceptual models.

With ever changing trends in market, developing a space for a said purpose may turn into a disadvantage over a few years. Bringing versatility to such spaces earlier in the design process will help it adapt to the changing needs of the population. This also can act as a solution to the rising scarcity of land and resources. A built environment without any expiry tag or a longer live span that can evolve over time would thus be an ideal solution. MICE tourism industry-Meetings, incentives, conferencing, exhibitions; is the next big step in the hospitality sector. The infrastructure that is meant to be utilised for these events have to be equipped in order to cater to varying crowds, purposes and evolve over time to rise up to the expectations of the innovations in market. MICE Infrastructure is often taken up in a very large scale and involves extensive planning and demanding clientele. However, most of these infrastructure end up as inactive assets once the event concludes which can be considered as a waste of resources. Thus, bringing versatility to these spaces will add to its lifespan. Aim To familiarise the concept of versatility in the MICE Tourism infrastructure thereby turning them into long term assets. Objective To understand the key concepts of multi-functionality. To identify the role and function of infrastructure in MICE tourism. To establish the linkages between multi-functionality and the MICE infrastructure by exploring various existing examples and small scale projects involving versatility in their spatial layout. Methodology Exploring the research material available on MICE Tourism as well as Multi-functionality through spatial layouts.
