Yeah, as Arunava said, the Mumbai Metro is currently under construction. It's comprised of both subway and light rail. Here's the first few phases shown with main nodes:

An example station: http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/2953/facilitiesct1.jpg Really, there's a massive upgrading of Mumbai's infrastructure underway. Apart from the Metro, there are upgrades in the works for the rail system to increase capacity, revamping train stations, expansion and modernization of bus lines, stations and grid, major highway/flyover projects to decrease congestion and cut travel time, the construction of up to two more international airports, as well as the modernization of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/6844/m1mx0.jpg http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/2667/m3mo4.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/401...rt4cnn4gg1.jpg You can check out the Mumbai -- Project News and Developments thread in the India section for a a more detailed rundown.

Hmmm...I don't know about that design, doesn't look too appealing to me.

That they've officially announced that they started construction on the project!!
Main points: 1. Construction started -- to be completed by 2010 2. They're reporting a total height 301m, but only 60 stories(??!) Fxfowle's website confirms: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6082/image5dk5.jpg 3. It is to be named "India Tower" From WorldArchitectureNews.com: FXFOWLE Architects' India Tower in Mumbai is under construction Quote:

I think this may even have even newer renderings by now.

I like this. A lot.
What is the public opinion about it? |
I don't really like the design of the building that much, but I'm glad to see some more high rises going up in Mumbai. Mumbai is really changing.
|
The design and name of this building has changed. The new name is DB Tower (short for Dynamix-Balwas, the name of the developer consortium.) Several India forum members have contacted architects FXFowle, and confirmed that they are the architects of the new design as well.
Here is the new design: http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/9248/db01ed9.jpg The tower will have the same height as the former Park Hyatt/India Tower proposal. The tower remains mixed residential and hotel use. |
Yep, FXFowle's hand is easily recognizable. When I saw this example of clean deconstructed Modernism, the first building that popped into my head was the Bank of America tower in NYC, another sliced up FXFowle glass box.

I want to draw this tower
anybody know is this a finally design http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5173/a01nw4.jpg |
^ No, it is not. Please read the 2 posts above, the design has changed..
Anyway, some awesome news! The tower's height has officially been confirmed to be over 400 meters in height :banana: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/4507/image1gt8.jpg Also, here's a layout plan, which gives a better perspective of the shape of the tower: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5...utplan1yt0.jpg Cheers to the Indian Skyscraper Blog for the heads up! -Jai |
Move it over to the supertalls thread.
|

By the way, nice design. |
I liked the original proposal so much better. This latest one seems so contrived and gimmicky... :(
|
I like the new design better.
|
This is great. I love Mumbai.
