Navjivan Society is one of the oldest and largest housing associations in Mumbai, located in the centre of Mumbai. The association covers an area of 2.48 hectares with a total of 18 buildings. Many members are eager to rebuild and are exploring its viability. IMK cooperated with consultants and experts in various fields to present suggestions for social selfconstruction. The plot is located on a busy commercial street and includes many residential buildings, shops and garages. Many members are concerned about moving out of their homes during the rebuilding period. Therefore, the design proposes minimal relocation and a tiered strategy to ensure relocation. Two separate areas have been created, which are homogeneously integrated while providing privacy for the residential area in all aspects. The shopping area is adjacent to the adjacent busy shopping street, while the residential area is hidden behind and accessible from the less crowded side streets. 83 | Page
