dc.description.abstractAround 19th century A port city „Mumbai‟ transformed to ‘City of textile mills’ century which boased city economy. ‘Land of mill’s’, ‘Mill village’, ‘Girgaon’ was characterised by Industrial architecture. 600 acres of south bombay belongs to the textile era of the city with more than 58 mills.And today, the textile mill land of the bombay is being transformed into elite bussiness and leisure ,a new oasis. In the old industrial land of south bombay, gleaming highrise now compete with chimney stacks in the urban skyline.The city skyline is commanded by towering skyscapper not by smoking chimney‟s. The social fabric of girgaon has collapsed and the physical artifacts and land of the industrial city are been dismantled. In the historic heart of Parel any new building built must reflect its very special context of Girgaon and connected life of people. Old existing mill structures are not only memorable and valuable enough to merit inclusion on the heritage list , but also stout enough to be recycled as work places for fashion designers studios for artists ,computer software engineers ,young graduates etc thus this thesis tries to come into being a new centre for Mumbai in the heart of the city with its own distinctive character, vitality and ambience – a centre which adds another dimension to this vital metropolis.
