Project:
** This international competition calls on and challenges participants to design a skyscraper or series of Skyscrapers as a housing solution for the deprived area of Dharavi in Mumbai, India.
** The competition is seeking to explore and investigate the possibility of a relatively adequate temporary housing solution for dwellers of the densely populated Dharavi, area – a city within a city.
** The design or concept should be one that is inspirational and of high quality tall construction using used-shipping containers as building modules.
** It should be a design solution that responds effectively to achieving such a tall and large scale housing solution in the form of a skyscraper and one that could be replicated next to each other to form a mini Steel City in Mumbai.
** The skyscraper or skyscrapers will serve as residential accommodations for the workers and families who now reside in dwellings and an area considered one of the largest slums in Asia, even with its thriving mini economy.
