Dharavi is one of the biggest and most dense slums in Asia. Although enriched with culture, the standard of lifestyle is a deficit of waste management, proper drainage, clean drinking water, etc., and is often seen as a blight. the houses are cramped and co-exist with working spaces.

The aim was to develop a cultural center where people can learn and improve their skills to uplift their businesses. The infrastructure of the center will be a break from the houses and living conditions prevalent here. The center also provides the people of Dharavi a platform to showcase their work, providing a little preview into their lives. a platform to bridge the gap between Dharavi and the city.
