We are thrilled to announce the results of the 'Dharavi Project' competition, where designers from around the world were tasked with creating a community center in Mumbai's Dharavi neighborhood that would inspire change and empower the local residents. The competition focused on three key aspects: community building, open and semi-open spaces, and 24-hour accessibility. The aim was to design a public space that would be managed and controlled by the community itself. We were overwhelmed by the response, receiving submissions from talented designers worldwide. Congratulations to the winners, honorable mentions, and the top 50 selected by the jury. Discover the imaginative and skilled designs on our website and social media platforms.
This competition offered a prize pool of INR 200,000 for the winners and was open to all individuals, including team entries of up to three participants. Interdisciplinary teams were encouraged to participate and there was no age limit, but those under 18 needed adult accompaniment.
