IT PROVIDES A SYNTHESIS OF CRAFT, FOOD AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES. THE 6 ACRES OF LAND ON WHICH THIS SPRAWLING COMPLEX IS SITUATED WAS SALVAGED AS PART OF A RECLAMATION PROJECT AND TRANSFORMED INTO A MAGNIFICENT DREAM PLAZA. DILLI HAAT IS NOT JUST A MARKET PLACE; IT HAS BEEN VISUALIZED AS A SHOWPIECE OF TRADITIONAL INDIAN CULTURE- A FORUM WHERE RURAL LIFE AND FOLK ART ARE BROUGHT CLOSER TO AN URBAN CLIENTELE. THESE SHOPS CHANGE HANDS EVERY 15 DAYS AND THEREFORE PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY TO THE VISITORS WITH A DIFFERENT SET OF SHOPS PERIODICALLY AND THEREFORE MOTIVATES THEM TO KEEP REVISITING AGAIN AND AGAIN.

CIRCULATION: FROM THE ENTRANCE PLAZA TO THE END OF THE COMPLEX, THE CIRCULATION IS E N TI R E L Y PE D ESTRIAN BY THE USE OF RAMPS & STEP, LOTS OF LEVELS HAVE BEEN CREATED TO DEFINE BUILDINGS MORE DISTINCTLY. CIRCULATION IN FRONT OF SHOPS IS THROUGH A VERANDAH COVERED ARCADE. THE SPACES ALSO GET VARIED CHARACTER BECAUSE THE PLAZA CHANGES CHARACTER FROM A LARGE ENTRANCE PLAZA TO AN OBLONG OPEN SPACE. SERVICE ENTRANCE HAS BEEN PROVIDED AT VARIOUS POINTS ON THE PERIPHERY VAISHNAVI RAJ PR ESENTE D BY , 4 T H Y R. ‘ A’ DILL HAAT (INA)

PLAN 18-24 SQM CRAFTS SHOP( PERMANENT & TEMPORARY STRUCTURE): THE CRAFT SHOPS, ESSENTIALLY A VERANDAH LIKE ARCADE, HAVE DIFFERENT KINDS OF BUILT IN SHELVES TO PROVIDE A VARIETY OF SELLING STYLES: OFF- COUNTER, ON THE FLOOR, STEPPED DISPLAY AND SO ON. FROM THE CENTRAL SPINE FIRST COMES THE OPEN PLATFORM MEANT FOR TEMPORARY SHOPS THESE ARE PROVIDED WITH JUST CONSTRUCTING PILLARS AND PLATFORM.

HUGELY SUCCESSFUL -- IT ATTRACTS OVER A MILLION VISITORS A YEAR – IT WAS THE FIRST EXERCISE IN PLACE MAKING IN THE CITY OF DELHI, NEARLY 80 YEARS AFTER EDWIN LUTYENS PLANNED NEW DELHI IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY.

IT WAS COMMISSIONED AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THE FIRST AND OPENED IN APRIL 2008. ITS BUILDING PROGRAMME WAS ALSO DEVELOPED BY THE DESIGN STUDIO. THIS INCLUDED INTEGRATING DIVERSE ISSUES LIKE RECREATIONAL, EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL USES OF THE SPACE WITHIN ITS HISTORICAL CONTEXT. THE PROJECT IS LOCATED ON A CORNER SITE IN THE VICINITY OF THE SUBHASH PLACE BUSINESS DISTRICT AND THE METRO STATION.

6. CONCEPT: THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT WAS SHAPED BY TWO GOALS. T HE FIRST W AS T O C R E A T E AS S P A CE T R T HET IS HU M A NE AND RESPECTS THE NEEDS OF ALL USERS- BOTH VISI T ORS A ND T HE CRAFTPEOPLE WORKING IN THE HAAT. THE SECOND WAS TO ES T AB L IS H A BE N C H M A RK IN THE DESIGN OF SIMILAR PUBLIC SPACE IN THE CITY. SITE CONDITION: T HE OVE R A LL AREA AV AI L AB L E W AS APPRO X IM A T E L Y 2 .9 HECTARES. THE SITE ITSELF POSED THE GIGANTIC TV TOWER JUST BE HIND I T , A T T A C H E D T O THE REAR PORTION OF THE SITE. IT WAS NOT ALLOWED TO CONS T R U CT A NY HIG H STRUCTURE DUE TO RAYS OF TV TOWER. THE DELHI METRO ON THE FRONT SIDE PASSING ABOVE THE HAAT. IT WAS NOT ALLOWED TO CONSTRUCT ANY HIGH STRUCTURE DUE TO THE METRO BRIDGE. THE AREA BELOW THE METRO BRIDGE WAS INITIALLY THE AREA AS GREEN AREA AND SITTING. TWO COLUMN OF METRO ARE INCLUDED IN THE SITE. THE EXISTING SITE UNDER THE METRO BRIDGE WAS ALSO INCLUDED TO UTILIZE THE AREA AND MAINTAIN GREEN. APPROVAL FROM METRO WAS TAKEN FOR THIS. THE PROJECT HAS NEARLY 100 CRAFTS STALLS, FOOD COURTS, A SPICE MARKET, AN ART GALLERY, AN AMPHITHEATRE, A RESTAURANT AND CONFERENCE FACILITY. THE BUILDINGS ARE SINGLE-STORIED AND BUILT AROUND LANDSCAPED COURTS AND PLAZAS. THE FRONT PART OF THE HAAT HAS BEEN ELEVATED TO PROVIDE A PARKING SPACE FOR AROUND 350 VEHICLES. A ROAD ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE PROVIDES ACCESS TO SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT INCLUDES A DORMITORY FOR VISITING CRAFTSPEOPLE. SI T E A N A L YSIS: USE OF DIFFERENT SHAPES OF BLOCK TO SHOW DIVERSITY AN CENTRAL AXIS OF SYMMETRY IS CREATED STARING FROM THE TV TOWER TO THE ENTRANCE, ALONG WHICH MIRROR IMAGES OF THE BLOCKS ARE PLACED. THE BUILDINGS, CONSTRUCTED IN EXPOSED BRICK AND STONE, WITH SHADY VERANDAHS HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY THE VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE OF THE REGION. THE UPPER LEVEL PLAZA BUILDINGS HAVE VAULTED GREEN ROOFS – A DESIGN FEATURE USED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A PUBLIC SPACE IN THE CITY. THE GREEN ROOFS AND PLAZAS ARE IRRIGATED WITH RECYCLED WATER PRODUCED BY AN ONSITE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT. THE PROJECT IS A BARRIER-FREE ENVIRONMENT AND IS BUILT ON PRINCIPLES OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN.
