In choosing Mumbai as its venue, the State of Architecture (SOA) exhibition perhaps paid a belated tribute to the city. Bombay was the city where the Indian capitalist class first emerged. Industrial wealth in the post-independence period was ensured by state protection and subsidisation, and later by monopoly licenses bought by extending a helping hand to the political class (Khilnani, 2004). This close relationship was soon to become an important fount for art patronage and support. Mumbai would supply the institutions, the fora and the associations where new expressions and ideas were sought for a promising post-colonial experiment. New monuments and cities were to be erected. A nation was to be built.

Structured along a timeline as ‘phases’ between three...

Colombia’s social urbanism and inclusive transportation projects have left a lasting impression on urban planning in the global south. The author explains how urban planning got democratised in Colombia and why India is still far behind.

This article emerges from a two-week long workshop in Colombia held in July 2014. The workshop was aimed at preparing guidelines for a territorial plan for the inter-municipal association of G11 in Colombia.¹ The event was hosted by Les Ateliers, with active support from the 11 municipalities in the south of the Valle del Cauca, and led by the mayor of Cali city (Santiago de Cali). The workshop was expected to come up with a regional plan (guidelines) for an area of 11,000 sq km to improve the economic, social and environmental aspects of the relatively backward south Colombian region of G11. Such a voluntary coalition of 11...

With the decline of the textile mills and their eventual closure, the manufacturing industry shifted out of the city, followed by a huge expansion of the service industry. This shift is predominantly visible in forms of consumption as well as forms of the corresponding built fabric. This changed the way Mumbai functions now as opposed to the pre-1990’s phase. This change is not a static long-term phenomenon but a transitionary city phase where a predominantly industrial/ manufacturing city evolves into a post-industrial service hub and continues to morph from the predominant finance function to a hybrid mix of financial services, informal/ formal services and cultural industry economy of media and film, advertising, printing and its myriad different forms. 

This shift is also seen very evidently in the public culture and imagination of the city with its direct impact...

Either for sites of significance or a situation to request multiple proposals before an ideal solution is selected are standard operating conditions mooting architectural design competitions. It’s predominantly for built solutions as in that is its principle appeal to compete for practicing architects and students. A bit more expensive than hiring a singular practice to produce multiple alternatives, the competition is generally a platform for the uninitiated to find footing and a space of engagement among the more established firms. This is the main draw which makes the stage appealing across sections of a profession. This compilation is a review of the state of popular design competitions held in the recent past. After about a lull the last few years have seen a competition organised every other year. List here try’s to capture the shifting nature of institutions and their patronage of...

MUMBAI PROJECT forms a method to understand the city by a dedicated process of investigating any of its selected, identified aspects. Within contained parameters, a project momentarily isolates a part of the city and forces its review through a particular tactic against a set of rules for observation. Existence of the MUMBAI PROJECT can either be academic or a need to conduct introductory studies against a live project wherever/ whenever it’s planned implementation is anticipated. City project is a commodity. From its point of origin both as an idea or the authored document its narrative overlays with the institution generating it therefore its biases. The MUMBAI PROJECT is considered as an urgency of practice hence is a tool to factor principles and ideas from a collective conducting a certain kind of work based from the city. In pursuit of locating type of possible engagement tied by...

Today, the rapidly-developing country of India is one of the key places in the world where architecture could have the most impact; in spite of this, there has been little critical reflection on the country’s architectural landscape, and architecture has struggled to assert its value to the wider population. Currently, the country’s first major architectural exhibition in 30 years is taking place in Mumbai, curated by Rahul Mehrotra, Ranjit Hoskote, and Kaiwan Mehta and running until March 20th. In this interview, Mustansir Dalvi sits down with the curators to discuss their exhibition and the past and present of Indian Architecture.

Looking back to the time architectural practices first began to proliferate in India, one sees that they always operated within an ecosystem of practice, academia, and association. We can trace this to the 1930s, when the Indian...
