There is an urgent need to rethink the current living condition in the slums in order to design a new typology that supports future growth of the population. Since problems are local, solutions have to be local.
Taking the essence of come-and-go of the service that actually takes no space, it is then to be merged with the flexible quality of a wet market taken in the slum to create an improved typology of settlement that provides living environment with better open space and infrastructure.
The project emerged from a series of observation of the social phenomenon that reflected the urgent need of public spaces in the extreme living density of Mumbai. The order that inherited in the chaotic world was revised and enhanced to embrace the rapid growth of community such that society will no longer be restrained by the infrastructure but facilitated instead.
