Untitled engages with the infrastructural voids and socio-economic frictions embedded within Mumbai’s institutional housing fabric. Sited in Parel, the project interrogates the latent potential of state-controlled land typologies—here, the quarters of B.E.S.T.—as a lens for examining post-industrial urban entropy and localized adaptation.

Rather than romanticizing informality or replicating obsolete state housing models, the intervention positions itself as a negotiated system—an armature—responsive to economic volatility, spatial constraints, and the performative behaviors of the working-class urban subject. The architecture operates through a syntax of aggregation, modular adaptability, and open-ended frameworks that resist fixity, inviting occupation, mutation, and commerce. It’s a a spatial infrastructure that acknowledges survival as agency, and housing as urban scaffolding for hybrid living economies.
