the shifting edge of the city


towards madh

towards versova(kind of)

towards mindspace

went to the top of a skyscraper by shakti parmar with the kids from the fourth year today and looked over the lokhandwala and versova mangroves. amazing potential they seem to have. the edges need to become more defined i think and then perhaps the encroachment will also stop- though that just may be wishful thinking.

look at the photo towards mindspace.. the edge garden sponsored by the oberois. think its silly that it is walled off from the main road, but remove that wall and its actually quite a nice transition to the mangroves. can imagine that going alll the way to mindspace.. finalising the edge of the city.

Indian architects don't seem to have proper websites although it doesn't cost much. Do they lack technology skills or they just lack time? Isn't the net the easiest way to show their work. Who for example is Shakti Parmar? The only architect with a proper website seems to be Mr Hafeez Contractor.
