Summary:
This publication presents Rahul Mehrotra’s writings over the last thirty years and illustrates his long-term engagement with and analysis of urbanism in India. This work has given rise to a new conceptualization of the city. Mehrotra calls it the Kinetic City, which is the counterpoint to the Static City, as familiar to most of us from conventional city maps. He argues that the city should instead be perceived, read, and mapped in terms of patterns of occupation and associative values attributed to space. The framework is established in this publication by Rahul Mehrotra’s anchor essay, which draws out its potential to “allow a better understanding of the blurred lines of contemporary urbanism and the changing roles of people and spaces in urban society.”

Summary:
Many people are not familiar with Kumbh Mela, and yet it is the largest celebration on earth: depending on the positions of Jupiter, the sun and the moon, Hindus travel to certain places along holy rivers, the Ganges for example, to bathe and cleanse themselves of sin. With a 2013 attendance of approximately 34 million, the triennial pilgrimage requires that the communities hosting the gatherings create functioning temporary structures to transport, house and feed enormous crowds of people. In 2013, a team from Harvard University monitored the large-scale event from its preparation through to the actual celebration, investigating and documenting the prototypes for flexible urban planning and offering organizers advice on issues around environmental protection. This substantial hardcover presents their comprehensive research findings along with city maps, aerial images and photographs of this most fascinating feat of urban planning.

Summary:
The scale and patterns of urbanization today challenges the notion of permanence as the default condition for cities. Rubrics like informality have meanwhile become counter-productive, as they also implicitly aspire to create new processes in imagining permanence. Does permanence, as the sole instrument in urban imaginaries, really matter? For the over 700 million(...)

Rubrics like informality have meanwhile become counter-productive, as they also implicitly aspire to create new processes in imagining permanence. Does permanence, as the sole instrument in urban imaginaries, really matter? For the over 700 million people represented in this research, stability is a luxury! Permanence is not an affordable condition and does not really affect their daily existence. What does this then mean for architecture and the city?

Summary:
''Working in Mumbai'' is a critical reflection on thirty years of the practice of RMA Architects. Rahul Mehrotra weaves a narrative to connect his multiple engagements in architectural practice, including teaching, research, documenting, writing and exhibiting since the establishment of the practice in 1990. The book is structured around the subjects of interior architecture, critical conservation, and work and living spaces that straddle the binaries of the global and the local as well as the rural and the urban. While the book is a portfolio of the selected works of RMA Architects, the projects are curated so as to unravel and clarify the challenges faced by architects in India and in several parts of the “majority” world where issues related to rapid urbanization and the impacts of global capital are among the many that dispute conventional models of practice. ''Working in Mumbai'' is used emblematically to interrogate the notion of context and understand how the practice evolved through its association with the city of Mumbai.
