Dharavi has super density.As I mentioned in previous presentation, with only 2 sq km, over 1 million people habitants there. With same population, it's the 9th biggest city in the united states, that is Dallas, which has a land 500 times than Dharavi.
Population density always regarded as poor living condition, occupancy rate is always a important status in evaluating living condition. But Dharavi has proven us that density can also give us great opportunities in achieving lively neighborhoods and become productive.
Study with Dharavi, we first want to know, how Dharavi is capable of containing such unbelievable population. I think their spaces have been assumed super flexible, nearly nothing is permanent.They just have very general separations, and then spaces have been used in different functions on different times.It can be the place to treat the foods, after dinner the same places can be beds for 3-4 people.They even don't have permanent beds for all, kids have to sleep together to fit in the house.
the room near the entrance is regarded as pottery making places and also pottery selling store,when working hour were over.It become the living room for the whole family to watch TV.
Then we can learn from the life in Dharavi.
Dharavi is in the heart of Mumbai, which is a metropolitan in India.It's hard for us to imaging why this would happen, but the thing is. so large a population lived in Dharavi, work in Dharavi, shop in Dharavi have festival activities in Dharavi, Dharavi is like a superblock that contains all the basic needs. Compare to Dharavi, young professions in Manhattan doesn't seem to be able to achieve this convenience in such a low pay.If they want to work on Manhattan islands, they can either choose to live on the island which is super expensive or live outside Manhattan which would take really a long time to transport to work.
I'm now designing a "Modern Slum" on Manhattan island, the site is Hudson yards.Which used to be the place where trains kept.Nowadays the developers bought the airight above the train trails, they decided to create a new dock over the trails and build skyscrapers on the dock.I want to transform the spaces in Hudson yard development into a Co-living and Co-working space. Use the principles learnt from Dharavi to make it extreme, and also have this self-support system. I'm designing the minimum living space and maximize the public space, I think the most recent micro-housing are not real micro-housing because they just built small envelopes that have everything inside, they just scaled or replaced by pre-fabricated materials.What I think of micro-housing is more a component a group of rooms, each cell doesn't even have living room, because the function of living rooms can be deconstructed and distributed to Starbucks or supported by public sharing spaces inside each component.
