The ‘egg-shape’ idea seems derived from Foster’s London City Hall design…and none of the visualizations show how they are going to integrate wind turbines.
What are they going to put in it? Or is it just supposed to be a landmark

kind of interesting
but i hate when architects fail to consider the regional dynamics of the place their putting it in. I don\’t know if this egg fits in with Mumbai, but I\’m guessing they designed it with a mindset that place doesn\’t matter. Their lack of care is evidenced by the fact that the people in the renderings don\’t look very Indian.
still I guess its good that India is attracting more international architects
¡¡¡HORRIBLEEEE!!!
what is it? museum, office building ..or just a landmark?
i don’t like it
The building’s usage should clearly highlighted.
The Fire Alarm and Life Safety aspects shall fully comply with NFPA 101 & 5000 and all other stringent international codes. Extent of Compliance should be highlighted . Reputed Life Safety Consultants such as R J A Inc , Shirmer Engineering Inc and similar Expert Firms should be engaged to prepare Code Analysis & Lfe Safety Reports
I HAVE ALREADY GIVEN MY COMMENT. PLEASE DISPLY IT.
JAYARAMAN RAGHURAMAN
i really hope that if you design a building like this, not only should there be a point behind it but u should also consider the place itself… this could end up an empty, pointless costly landmark, in which case could equally house some of the impoverished people of mumbai i.e those living in slums. To be honest this looks like quite a pointless waste of time and resources, and why are there so many palm trees around it? Architects do not have the right to create such designs that i myself could do better with a ruler and pencil and the help of a friend with the knowledge of building design. This building wont change anything in india, only hinder it, like typically the west does.
what is the probability of going hightech in a country where the problems of electricity and poverty is still yet to be addressed.
superb
it doesn’t matter whether there are slums around it or this suits india or anything and there’s no electricity problem. i think this is metaphorical or pluralistic. as indian technology is accelerating, it’s nice to see this kind of architecture evolving. but the use of palm trees is quite contrasting. attractive design anyway. can’t say it’s like fosters authority building
Finally, following in search of appears like forever you’ve brought me the advice that i needed!
Very, very similar to London New City hall. Or as some of the natives call it…The Glass Testicle.
