The projects, with plans and photographs, will recount team efforts towards conceptually-sensitive architecture. It includes seven of the 1998 Aga Khan award winners like Charles Correa's `Vidhan Bhavan' and Himanshu Parikh's slum networking at Indore. Other eye-catching original works which are also eco-friendly will also be on display during the month-long exhibition.

The Aga Khan Award for Architecture along with the Prince of Wales Museum and Urban Design Research Institute are also organising a day-long seminar on the topic on Saturday, January 16 at Stuttgart Hall, Max Mueller Bhavan.

The seminar focuses on the award-winning projects from South Asia and will discuss the continuingrelevance of the award for the region.

At a preview of the exhibition today, Amyn Z Ahmed of the Aga Khan Awards said the aim is to provide a platform for interaction between architects and discuss the continuous evolution of appropriate architecture for users of the structures as well as the process of urbanisation.

Himanshu Parikh, who won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture for his slum-networking project at Indore, has suggestions to alleviate Mumbai's slum problems.

After 15 years of working on slum projects, he has learnt that slums should be accepted as a part of the city and instead of rehabilitating slum-dwellers in multi-storeyed buildings at the cost of many crores, they should be provided with basic infrastructure.

``Instead of seeing them as liability, slums should be considered an asset. All they need is good infrastructure like water, electricity, roads and well-linked sewers. The Government should recognise that slumdwellers have a right to land,'' said Parikh, adding, ``In any case,Mumbai sewers, which are in an abysmal condition, serve 40 per cent of the population while the remaining 60 per cent living in slums are deprived of this basic amenity.'' Parikh is planning to work out one such project of providing proper infrastructure to a slum in Mumbai but is keeping it under wraps for the moment.
