The winners of arch out loud’s competition Reside - in which entrants were to design a mixed residential development on one of the last remaining sections of undeveloped Mumbai coastline - have been announced.

The architectural research initiative challenged entrants to design for “both the indigenous fishing community that has occupied the site for hundreds of years - as well as a new demographic drawn to the affluent neighborhood that now encompasses the site”.
The architectural research initiative challenged entrants to design for “both the indigenous fishing community that has occupied the site for hundreds of years - as well as a new demographic drawn to the affluent neighborhood that now encompasses the site”.
Many entrants focused on examining the idea of socially inclusive architecture, attempting to break down spatial segregation within Mumbai, and recognizing that the collective well-being of all its inhabitants is crucial to the city’s success moving forward. Reincarnation Network - a team of students from the Moscow Institute of Architecture - won the competition with their careful appreciation of the existing village and its traditions. The proposal developed and utilized the current urban fabric in a flexible scheme, focusing upon a “rebirth” rather than a reinvention of the site, while also paying attention to the unique contextual topography in a series of vibrant visualizations.
