There are several luxury projects emerging along the river front in Ahmedabad. This project imagines a scenario, where several start architects are invited by a developer to create signature and iconic pieces that would define the skyline along the river front. One of the reasons for this is to once again open an avenue to bring back new typological imaginations for housing projects, that were a hallmark of Ahmedabad between 1970s and 1990s. While the over all construction quality of housing in the city has improved, it has come at the cost of new imaginations for housing typologies. For this particular project a total of eight star architects are invited to design eight projects. The masterplan is worked out to provide a rhythmically staggered configuration of building and garden in such a way that all the projects can have possibilities of views to the river and / or the community gardens. The invited architects are free to work within the provided site within the masterplan.
