Jugaad is a term for wonderful low-tech innovative solutions. It originates from India where a large part of the population is still very poor but tries to make the best of the scarce resources they have.
Jugaad reminds me of the bastard chairs that Michael Wolf photographed in Hong Kong. Wonderfully simple and cheap solutions. Sort of jugaad too.
