Kinetic City: Designing For Informality In Mumbai

Speaker: Professor Rahul Mehrotra
This event was recorded on 18 May 2010 in Wolfson Theatre, New Academic Building
Mumbai, a Kinetic City, presents a compelling vision that potentially allows us to better understand the blurred lines of contemporary urbanism and the changing roles of people and spaces in urban society. An architecture or urbanism of equality in an increasingly inequitable economic condition requires looking deeper to find a wide range of places to mark and commemorate the cultures of those excluded from the spaces of global flows. These don't necessarily lie in the formal production of architecture, but often challenge it. Here the idea of a city is an elastic urban condition, not a grand vision, but a grand adjustment.

Studio Mumbai Architects - Inbetween Dwellings

Studio Mumbai Architects are building a structure for the V&A's '1:1 - Architects Build Small Spaces' exhibition. The project will be situated in the V&A's Cast Courts and will be modelled exactly on a sliver of space which exists in a narrow urban corridor between industrial buildings, on a site directly behind the Studio Mumbai offices. This narrow space also provides living space for a family of eight, and represents an intelligent, agile approach to creating dwelling space in a city where space is scarce and land prices are rapidly escalating.
