The Mumbai Ensemble
Historical moments that were never meant to be fused together have become an ensemble of their own, weaving together Neo-Gothic, Art Deco and local architecture together.
Over the years, use and imagination of these buildings have allowed for integrative narratives to emerge.

A House We Built ... BIGGER
This is the second of two films, which document the story of a house we helped build, in Shivaji Nagar, Mumbai. The neighbourhood is located near the city’s largest dumping ground and home to hundreds of thousands of people from marginalized communities. The films showcase two stages in the incremental life of the house. In the first one, we see its professional and efficient construction a year ago, to its permitted height of 14 feet. In the second we see its vertical expansion in September 2015, following an authorized revision of the legal limit. The choice which the new resident made, of keeping the unintended space, on increasing the height, is typical of the adaptability of urban incremental growth. The films make evident the potential, skills and resources inherent in such places, which need very little, except for appropriate state support, to transform their living standards.
TEASER: A House We Built BIGGER
This is a Teaser for a video we are presenting Chicago Architecture Biennial starting this week. The video will be shown exclusively at the Biennial (for now). This is only the teaser!
The video to be presented at the Biennial is a sequel following a first video shot in 2014, which show how the house was initially built (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whyfh1xOkh0).
This new video will show how the house was incrementally expanded, and the role that the end-user played in its redesigning.
