First Prize in Design Competition
The proposal is a First Prize-winning entry in a National Level Design Idea Competition held by the City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd. for the construction of 1137 dwelling units in Kalamboli, New Bombay.
The design centres around the basic ground floor dwelling unit which can be expanded over time. A hierarchy of built spaces leads from the cluster to the neighbourhood, with deliberately segregated pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns.
Service and social infrastructure are to represent the focal points of the settlement. Several neighbourhoods around a central node of social and cultural amenities form the basis for the settlement pattern.
