The Remaking of Mumbai: A CTBUH–IIT

“The five towers rise up from the urban plane, connected by a sinuous, landscaped bridge that starts at the ground and works its way up, around and between the towers, culminating in a giant urban park in the sky; a horizontal plane connecting the towers and binding the separate schemes and design agendas into one whole.”

Remaking of Mumbai Federation (RoMF), a private/communitybased organization was established in 2006 with the sole aim of improving the urban standards of Mumbai generally, and the C-ward specifically. As RoMF were considering tall buildings as a part of the solution, they together with Antony Wood, CTBUH Executive Director and Associate Professor, Illinois Institute of Technology decided to utilize the spheres of both industry and academia at CTBUH–IIT by holding an advanced architectural studio for IIT students based on the real project in Mumbai, which RoMF would support.
