Few cities in the country have as varied a skyline as Mumbai's. Gothic and Victorian architecture, speckled with Indo-Saracenic structures and Art Deco buildings exist cheek by jowl with clone-like glass facades of malls and office spaces. And space utilisation has become the excuse for constructing matchbox-like residences that let no sunlight in. It was this disregard for Mumbai's historic architecture, with no thought being put into the current constructions, which led photographer and social media consultant Kuber Shah to frame the city's eclectic buildings for a series called Doors of Mumbai. The photo exhibition will be on view from tomorrow.
