Concertation pour le réaménagement d’un quartier de villa en ville de Genève

Consultation for the redevelopment of a villa district in the city of Geneva

urbz has spent the last fifteen years in the neighbourhood of Dharavi, actively participating in the user-driven evolution of its material and social life. This has given us the confidence to conceptualise and embark on a project called “The ABCD of Dharavi Koliwada” - An Action Based Comprehensive Development Plan that aims to support the incremental development of the neighbourhood. 

We are excited to be working on a new architectural project in Dharavi Koliwada. Our friend, collaborator, and contractor Joseph Koli, approached us to work on his latest project - the redevelopment of a chawl owned by brothers Vithal and Bhaskar Koli.

urbz is carrying a 18 month long participatory process to redefine the two largest public squares in Lausanne.

1000 Voices is a project that aims to document and understand Dharavi, Mumbai, through the perspective of people who, through their presence and activities, reproduce this fascinating homegrown neighbourhood day after day.

We are taking the Design Comes as We Build project to the next level - the Homegrown Street!

In The Shapes of Third Places series, we delve into the work of the three student groups of GDI 2025, exploring how their creative and insightful approaches have helped us gain new perspectives on Third Places.

• Third Places are Circular
• Third Places can be Extra-Long
• Third Places are 3-Dimensional
