four views from mumbai's own florida


swimming pools in the city

a quarry on the other side - now a "lake"

anne from berlin called powai hiranandani complex 'mumbai's florida' yesterday. the first two are views from a new apartment that we might be doing; while the lower two peek over the landscape mounds on a main street to look at the workers housing.

  1. I've no clue what Florida is like, never having been there. But I often think Mumbai is a city of islands...not just geographically but socially as well. Or perhaps that isn't the right word to use. What I mean is that little clusters/semi-townships exist virtually independent and self-contained. It's the commuting between those islands that really kills you. What's the architect's perspective on this?
