studio mumbai architects: in-between architecture

image: pasi aalto
studio mumbai architects focuses on the unauthorized architecture of mumbai with their installation
‘in-between architecture’, currently on show at the v&a museum in london. the project is part of the
exhibit ‘1:1 - architects build small spaces’ and located among the cast sculptures in the v&a cast court.
the structure is directly based on a dwelling that is crammed into narrow urban allotments located right
behind the studio’s building. while quite tiny, the original structure houses a family of eight. though
seen as parasitic, these homes offer intelligent design solutions in a city where space is scarce. like its
neighbouring sculptures, ‘in-between architecture’ is a cast of the space in mumbai. however the
architects are not trying to replicate the building exactly, instead their new version aims to distill
the poetic qualities of the space.
