Working in Mumbai by Rahul Mehrotra

Book Launch and Discussion

Friday 13 August 2021, 6.00pm
Venue: Online zoom

CEPT University

Working in Mumbai is a critical reflection on thirty years of the practice of RMA Architects. Rahul Mehrotra, a Principal Architect at RMA Architects, 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.

The Indian edition published by The CEPT University Press, 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 Bombay/Mumbai.
