Storey 4 of 18m which form the central courtyard.
Total units of The Building 36



4 storeys high, they are designed along an
inward-looking, circular floor plan as housing
for up to 150 people each. They were built
around a central open courtyard. The houses
are functioned as units and a “bustling small
city.”

The buildings were divided between families
with each disposing of three rooms in each
unit. In contrast with the plain exterior, the
inside of new chawl were built for comfort
and were decorated by folding glass.

01. Parameter Of Slum Housing
The urban area, which is short of communication to outside, with
an unorderly and littery outline becomes a useful and flexible
transformation to promote innovation,
hybridization of house forms.



02. Typologic Innovation The new planning develops along
the Y-shaped segments defined by
the three main arteries that meet at
the center of the area, and on to
which the network of minor roads
are grafted. Houses blocks follow
one another in rows along the main
streets, creating a characteristic
urban space.
The main channel of the region is
similar to the old areas, using the
method of parallel roads and
oblique roads intersection, so that
residents can come in and go out of
the living space more freely. Taking
into account the region is located in
the central plot in Mumbai, the
mobility of the region itself and
connection with the outside is
improved by adding main entrance
in the boundary of the region.



03. Hybridization and Combination
New housing size is designed to meet the psychological needs of
residents by continuing the residential style of the slum. Combined with
the method of prefabricated parts to accelerate reconstruction speed.
Residential areas can be constructed in different volume, but it should
follow the principle of building a social space and facilitating the
communication.



After establishing criteria for the governance of the project, as values for a new urban culture, this plan
exceeds the physical aspects to define a vision of total plan through the following strategic priorities - the
new urban planning based on the urban cell as joint element of living space; the mobility, spaces for
creativity and innovation for a new epistemology of urban society are other major strategies that are
specified in the project.
