Collage House by S+PS sits in Mumbai—brilliantly constructed using materials found throughout the city. Its most prominent feature, two connecting walls made of used doors and windows, is just one example of its many smart recyclable solutions.
"Living in Mumbai, India it is impossible to ignore the informal settlements in the city, and if looked at closely there are many lessons to be learnt in frugality, adaptability, multi-tasking, resourcefulness and ingenuity. A visual language emerges that is of the found object, ad-hoc, eclectic, patched and collaged. An attempt has been made here to apply some of these lessons without romanticizing or fetishizing them. The project looks at the idea of recycling and collage in several ways, from the very physical - like materials, energy, etc. to the intangible - like history, space and memories."
