MARS IN MUMBAI
Prototypes of change developed for the BMW Guggenheim Lab
Informal settlements dominate much of the world’s emerging cityscape. The tense social and spatial conditions they bring forth render most urban strategies ineffective. Neither top-down planning, defined by a technocratic approach of ever larger infrastructure, nor bottom-up efforts, in the form of increasingly sophisticated community level projects, seem able to meet the challenges at the scale the developing metropolis demands. Can micro-scale interventions be designed to achieve citywide strategies?
This conceptual divide is further exacerbated in Mumbai, where slums that make up two-thirds of the population cut through the entire island city in a sharp spatial divide. Attempts to address the dire challenges from, water security to pollution and severe congestion, are limited to either the formal or informal settlements. MARS Architects has produced a vision for a United Mumbai, the starting point for incorporating informal settlements as fully integrated parts of the formal city.
Over the coming weeks, stakeholder meetings will be held at the Guggenheim Lab Mumbai to discuss our ten proposed technologies, from wall systems to transport systems. Follow us as an expanding system of architectural interventions turns slums into sustainable settlements, which in turn become the backbone of a United Mumbai.
PART 1: SPI MODEL
The foundation of this project is an in-depth study of Mumbai’s population density. Not merely mapping Mumbai’s infamous conditions in abstract terms but introducing a new methodology that better represents the experience on the ground. The new metric, called the Stacked Population Index (SPI), measures the density of people per amount of available floor surface. Suddenly the true extents of Mumbai’s informal settlements can be observed: a yellow forest of towering densities covers the entire urban landscape. The harsh reality; the city accommodates two thirds of its population on less than a quarter of its residential surface, and yet urban plans for Mumbai mostly ignore their existence.

EMM Labs DAC 2 in silver
Like new!!! Please email or call for great price.
This is probably the best DAC I have ever heard, very versatile. Just amazing.
You know how it is. Digital audio data isn't the sole domain of digital transports any longer. Today, digital audio streams from sources as diverse as your PC, music server, satellite receiver, mixing board and portable player. Which is why EMM Labs has created one very simple, very convenient way to get state-of-the-art sound from all of them.
Introducing the DAC2--the next generation two-channel reference D/A converter from EMM Labs, the perfect companion for our TSD1 CD/SACD Transport. Not only is the DAC2 equipped with a multitude of input options, it's the first converter to feature our proprietary new MFASTâ„¢ (Meitner Frequency Acquisition System) technology.
MFASTâ„¢ vs. conventional PLLs
Most converters utilize PLL (Phase Locked Loop) circuits. MFASTâ„¢ has two distinct advantages. It's a high-speed asynchronous system that locks almost instantaneously to any data stream. Moreover, unlike PLLs which merely attenuate jitter, MFASTâ„¢ strips jitter out of the audio stream completely. Enabling you to enjoy pristine sonic clarity whether the incoming data stream is pure or anything but. The DAC2 also features:
MDATâ„¢: 2x DSD upsampling
Meitner Digital Audio Translator (MDATâ„¢)upsamples to 5.6 mHz, double the SACD standard sampling rate.
Proprietary discrete dual differential D-to-A conversion circuit
We were not willing to accept the inherent non-linearities of every mass-market chip created to date. Neither should you.

For the next weeks I’m going to mainly edit my shots downloaded from my profile on the website. I would export shots from the capture section on my PS5 and transfer them to my PC if it wasn’t old and creaky, I had a laptop or a flash drive adapter for the iPad.
But in a few weeks time I will try and find the mentality to load up my PC. And within the next two years, hopefully my 10-12 year old PC can be replaced since this PC locks up after 1-4 hours depending on what the PC is being used.
Of course I would love a new PC on a PayPal 0% Interest Plan. However since I already have one active and a new job will need to be secured so my boss doesn’t have to get frustrated with me, within the next week or two.
Buying a new Desktop PC or Laptop isn’t a smart move just in case, my boss decides to get rid of me before a new job is secured. And because of that, buying something to replace my old PC is a bit risky.
