Buildings are often tightly packed together and have irregular evolving layouts as many inhabitants modify their properties to fully utilise allocated space as the need arises. There is also an almost constant need for residents to maintain a network of drains and ditches outside their houses to avoid localised and larger scale flooding. The settlement is very highly populated with buildings which are low in height and massing (mostly houses with one storey and in some cases two or three). The steep topography has enhanced the legibility within the site, however there are very few local landmarks. Dworzark’s building materials are predominantly characterised by panbody (corrugated iron sheet), mud bricks, mud cement blocks, tarpaulin, concrete/cement, local stone, car tyres and local timber. The materials themselves can make homes extremely hot in the summer months and can leak in the rainy season. Residents in Dworzark are actively engaged in construction of recreational facilities, such as cinemas, bars, and football fields. There have also been community-led initiatives to install street lighting, and to cut steps in certain necessary areas of the settlement.
