B-INTRODUCTION

DILLI HAAT is a project of Delhi tourism and New Delhi municipal corporation. It provides an ambience of a traditional village market for more contemporary needs. It provides a synthesis of craft, food , and cultural activities.

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 business. 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 .It provides encouragement to need artists and serves as an outlet centre for them .A small food court which brings a variety of cuisines of different states together.

D-FEATURES

• an entrance plaza, raised to block vehicular access and bring a new spatial identity for pedestrian circulation and ticketing services for entry to Dilli Haat.

• It is followed by a linear spine of movement flanked by stalls on both sides in cluster patterns showcasing the local and the regional crafts of India.

• Space syntax tools have been used to study the interaction between the spatial configuration and public movement in this spatial typology in an urban context.

SPACE SYNTAXThe three most popular ways of analysing a street network are INTEGRATION, CHOICE AND DEPTH DISTANCE.

•INTEGRATION measures how many turns have to be made from a street segment to reach all other street segments in the network, using shortest paths. If the number of turns required for reaching all segments in the graph is analyzed, the analysis is said to measure integration at radius 'n'. The first intersecting segment requires only one turn, the second two turns and so on. The street segments that require the fewest turns to reach all other streets are called 'most integrated' and are usually represented with hotter colors, such as red or yellow.

• The CHOICE measure is easiest to understand as a 'water-flow' in the street network. Imagine that each street segment is given an initial load of one unit of water, which then starts pours from the starting street segment to all segments that successively connect to it. Each time an intersection appears, the remaining value of flow is divided equally amongst the splitting streets, until all the other street segments in the graph are reached. For instance, at the first intersection with a single other street, the initial value of one is split into two remaining values of one half, and allocated to the two intersecting street segments. Moving further down, the remaining one half value is again split among the intersecting streets and so on. When the same procedure has been conducted using each segment as a starting point for the initial value of one, a graph of final values appears. The streets with the highest total values of accumulated flow are said to have the highest choice values.

• DEPTH DISTANCE is the most intuitive of the analysis methods. It explains the linear distance from the center point of each street segment to the center points of all the other segments. If every segment is successively chosen as a starting point, a graph of accumulative final values is achieved. The streets with lowest Depth Distance values are said to be nearest to all the other streets.

SPACE SYNTAX USE IN DILLI HAAT

• The connectivity analysis of the axial map of Dilli Haat shows that the street corresponding to the first half of central spine from entrance has the highest values of connectivity but comparatively smaller values of integration to the overall system. This is by virtue of its linear character which supports its function as a shopping street.

• In comparison, the latter half of the central spine with a nearer value in connectivity has very high value of integration as it is well integrated into the network of food zones on both sides.

• The food zones that flank as networks on both sides of the spine after the round about has a medium level of visual connectivity and integration. The lower most portion of the site has lesser integration levels due to its visual discontinuity. This is visible through in-situ observation.

• Space syntax tools further reveals the underlying properties of the spatial configuration of Dilli Haat. It has a strong potential to illustrate how urban spaces and their configurations can translate into positive public value.

7-CIRCULATION• From the entrance to the end of the complex , the circulation is entirely pedestrian.• By the use of ramps and steps , lots of levels have been created to define buildings more distinctly.• Circulation in front of shops is through a verandah covered arcade 1.5 m wide.• The spaces also get varied character because the plaza changes character from a large entrance plaza to an oblong open space.• 2 Service entrance has been provided on the periphery.

8-HEIGHT OF BUILDING STRUCTURES•Most of the buildings in this complex are single storey. •3M height is provided in most of structures.•store room is of double storey height that is 6M. •An admin office is also double storey.

9-EFFICIENCY• Evolved from an open left over space with storm water drain, garbage dump and a line of some

vegetation, Dilli Haat has emerged as an active and engaging public space with an over growing demand and high footfalls.

• The chosen site of 100 x 300m comprised of a 23m wide storm water drain (‘Nallah’ in local language), a garbage dumping ground often used for outdoor defecation and sanitation purposes.

• Along the site were number of trees lining both sides of the drain, giving it a linear flowing character but with an identity of a left over space.

• It witnesses up to 7000 people on weekends or holidays and about 3000 on weekdays.

10-CLIMATIC RESPONSE•A belt of trees like neem and peepal surrounding complex serves as an effective natural filters for dust and for the chemical discharge that pollutes the atmosphere.•Due to presence of trees the temperature remains comfortable.•Bamboo shades have been provided in food plaza as well as in arcade.

22-INFERENCE• Green space is provided at relevant spaces.• Consist of many negative spaces which are a place of dust collection.• Unauthorised stalls have been setup.• The spine concept is used very efficiently.• Location of drinking water is not appropriate i.e. near to the washrooms.• Number of ramps to reach different level are less are at far distances.• Not all service entries are used.• The placement system of stalls is convincing.• the decorations enhance the beauty of the place.• An entrance plaza, raised to block vehicular access and bring a new spatial identity for pedestrian

circulation is a very special feature.• Every kitchen has its own gas and water supply.• Every food stall has different style of seating and shade.• The paved area seems monotonous which can be improved.• Temporary stalls structure can be improvised.• Services are not maintained properly.• Security is compromised of the place.
