Synchronizing the Transit, Heritage & Green | Hauz Khas

The Urban Expansion and Regeneration Plan Studio gives deep insight and focuses on the comprehensive analysis of an urban fabric at the micro-level through differential iterations of existing situation analysis by scrutinizing the strength, weaknesses, opportunities and potentiality through different approaches that helped in exploring a vast array of quantitative and qualitative tools through individual observations including zoning, transportation, development control regulations, infrastructure, cost estimation, etc. The studio iterations were involved in these parametric analyses through a site of 5.5 sq.m. at Hauz Khas (New Delhi) by deciphering the existing situation of the urban fabric eventually leading to the formulation of a Local Area Plan Framework. The portfolio encompasses the curated work of the author, done as a part of the semester curriculum concentrating on drafting the Local Area Plan Proposal for Hauz Khas. The journey entailed the observations on the site, stakeholder interactions, beneficial input lectures and reflective key learnings for further effective utilization in the final output. The studio enhanced in providing for a stimulated, informed domain for formulating the Local Area Plan while also acknowledging flexibility in the extent of approach, goal and objectives giving rise to new dimensions in the final formulation.
