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.

It is wonderful, simply as an attraction space and part of the exhibition. Takes on a whole new significance when you understand its meaning.
