living frame|work
Client: Mumbai district of Dharavi
Location: Mumbai, India
Status: Competition, received Honourable Mention
living frame|work is a skyscraper but not a building, it needs no land, and it is always incomplete. living frame|work is an open framework that adapts, grows and evolves with its communities’ social & economical interactions
Living frame|work is a collection of skyscrapers designed to provide improved life conditions in urban environments, while preserving – and enhancing – the local socio-economic dynamics of the local context. Living frame|work is a building with no land. Erected on top of existing slums, it is a 3D steel ‘scaffolding-like’ grid, where container units and open platforms can be plugged into place with a simple crane. The construction’s minimal site coverage increases the skyscraper’s implantation possibilities in any city. Living frame|work deploys its space above the urban fabric and its solely structural base occupy a minimal footprint on the plot (steel columns only) on which it is implanted. The plot can therefore continue to be used for a variety of social, economical and environmental urban activities. Living frame|work does not need an empty plot and can be implanted anywhere above existing urban fabrics. It is easily transferable and replicable in other contexts and highly populated cities around the world. Rising like a tree looking for air and sunlight, Living frame|work is a solution for the rapid urbanisation of highly dense populated areas.
