SEE THE SEA

Project idea

an urban public space, with interlace of water-
Experiencing architecture through water.

Project description

“when ever i think about architecture, images
comes to my mind of childhood,spending time in
this city of mumbai.the spaces between tall buildings
and narrow roads,the edge between water
and land, the feel of emptyness and fullness,
but never really got any answer, for my affection
towards this city (MUMBAI).”

“DESPITE ITS TRANSFORMATION INTO
A CULTURAL AND ECONOMICAL HUB, MUMBAI
LACKS AN ARCHITECTURAL SYMBOL THAT PROJECTS
ITS COSMOPOLITIAN IDENTITY. MOST OF
ITS EXISTING MONUMENTS REFERS TO COLONIAL
PAST AND BECOME ANACHRONISTIC WHEN
CONFRONTED BY THE 21ST CENTURY ENERGY.
AND THE DIVERSITY OF THIS ISLAND MEGA-CITY.
THE IMMINENT ARRIVAL OF TOWERS EMULATING
THE DUBAI FORMULA APPEARS EQUALLY DUBIOUS
AS A MEANS FOR MUMBAI TO EXPRESS
ITSELF.”
SITUATED ALONG THE CURVE EXPANSE OF
MARINE DRIVE AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE
CITY, THE SEE THE SEA TOWER, CONTAINS MUSEUMS,
UNDERWATER OBSERVATORIES, A GARDEN
AT 150 METER LEVEL, AND ROOF TOP OBSERVATORIES,
ADDING AS AN ICON TO THIS MEGA CITY
AND INDIA
