Chapter 2.3 : Nepalese diaspora in Pilok after the World War II

In 1948 onwards caused booming of Mine industry and villages.

Later in the 1945 , When the world war II ended which was followed by Burmese Independence in the 1948, Most of Nepalese in Burma got expelled and unemployment. In directly mining industry in Pilok got economically growth, Nepalese people and mercenaries were employed to be mine worker in Pilok in huge no.

Phapae village consist of Nepalese people and later the village had transition to Mining area.

Here is an current house of Nepalese miners since the mine was active. 

I used forensic architecture to invistigate the village in 1950 by constructing the houses position from the picture to 3 D model to understand what the village look like in 1950 and then I transform the model in to plan to see the position of the house in 1950.

There is a plan of village in 1950 and in 2020 which the red line is the current house that still exit in today.

I also used the technique of forensic architecture into how does an old house in 1950 photograph look like in the 2020 picture. Through this technique I understand more how the house was used to be and how the new house is overlay with the old house.

The current house of Nepalese house since the mine was active. Here is the site plan. 

Since their Lifestyle is based on mining and the working hours of miner are from morning till evening and OT till night so the house is where sleep and Keep mines and mining equipment.

The plan, front, Elevation and Back of the house.

Since these Nepalese people are diaspora from Nepal to Burma and to Pilok. But there was very few houses of Thai people in Pilok. These people still keep their lifestyle and environment based on Nepalese in Burma. Here is a difference colors that show the influences of the architecture of house arrangement from Burmese and Nepalese house. 

Most of Burmese house are wooden rectangular form and Keep their Kitchen and bath separated from their living room. Mostly these Nepalese people still keep their tradition culture from Nepal .
