Any serious interest in Mumbai’s architecture must also consider the presence of the sea in the city and the impact it has had on its urban landscape. From maritime motifs on building facades, to floor plans designed to capture every ounce of sea breeze, the architecture in this coastal city is in constant dialogue with the waters. This virtual storytelling event explores the sea and its influence on the architecture, development, design of the city and its long-lasting socio-cultural impact.
Atul Kumar, Founder Trustee, Art Deco Mumbai Trust was invited to speak at this event organised by the Maritime Mumbai Museum Society, in association with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya and The Museum Society of Mumbai.
Speaker:
For the past 15 years, Atul has been actively working on issues especially within south Mumbai’s Art Deco heritage precinct. He is passionate about conservation, civic and governance issues, nature, the environment and protecting Mumbai’s iconic modern living Art Deco heritage. He is also on the board of several trusts that work for preservation of open spaces, civic issues and heritage conservation.
