Mumbai's Architecture is Killing Us !! | Sameep Padora | TEDxGateway

Sameep Padora talks about lessons we can learn from Bombay's historic buildings and how these lessons can help re-imagine the future of Mumbai's architecture with the aim of creating a healthier living environment for its residents. Sameep Padora runs an architecture and research practice based out of Mumbai. He was voted by the World Architecture News as one of one of the top 21 young architects globally. He has been a recipient of the Architectural Review's commendation for the Emerging Architecture Award as well as has received MARMOMACC Architecture in Stone prize in Verona, Italy. His innovative Maya Somaiya library was shortlisted as one of the 6 best Libraries globally by the AR London. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Perfect Said, Sir...Extremely Perfect...

[@bhavinshukla428]

Thank you sameep for this wonderful talk. However, The problem is both sided (or multi sided). There is a big gap betwwen the kind of Architects 'India needs' and the kind of Architects 'India trains'. The profession is plagued by problems of pay, responsibility and value. The hard reality is that in 99 % of cases boils down to costs. and 'Architects' are an added cost to the project. The govenment has reduced its hiring of architects. 2 out of 100 architects work with the govenment (that includes PWD, HUDCO, Corporations etc....)

This guy should be contacted by the Government for post COVID Bombay. But we know that will never happen.

[@rahuljjain3345]

He is part of a group of architects in West Mumbai, which does pro-bono urban design projects called the "Bandra Collective" in close collaboration with the Maharasthra Govt.

With all due respect, the population of Mumbai is just huge. What is the solution given by planners/architects to accommodate these people without compromising the space?

Not just Mumbai's but entire India's
