Evolution of the Framework

Delayering of the strategic components

Mobility Network Strategy

Robust connectivity is achieved by a series of strategic actions, which inlcudes integration with the exisiting regional and local mobility network, site- river-lake-neighborhood integration through new supporting network, a system of community trail which has the scope to be integrated with the larger network. AMTS connection is taken along the central spine (legacy asset) and feeder transit stops are connected using secondary and tertiary network.

An overall sense of connectedness is brought in by a trail system (NMT) that connects all scales of public spaces and encourages healthy, sustainable mobility.

Open Space Strategy

Recreational places are integrated into ecological restoration, and the environment is perceived as a partner. This is accomplished by programming retentive landscapes, mounds and other plazas and squares that doubles its function of acting as a public space and also holds water during monsoon, factoring in the floodplain nature of the site.

Some strategic actions in the framework that aids in developing a network of meaningful open spaces include : central green link between the river and the lake, a green trail that is programmed with smaller water detention areas, and other neighborhood level open spaces.

Community Strategy

To embrace the region’s natural identity, the riverfront, and the sporting cultural identity that the olympic has imbibed in the neighborhood, a set of anchoring spaces/ builtforms are created integrating them with the exisitng anchor, thus making the whole system well accessible. An elevated pedestrian bridge, that aids in N-S connection across the river also acts a spot to enjoy the scenic skyline created by the aquatics centre, central plaza, lake, and the spiritual centre. The trail is programmed with functions that carries memories of the olympics and celebrates culture.

Character Zone Strategy

Character zones are formed strategically based on the exisitng, retained and created built and natural assets. Mixed use zone is along the riverfront road, commercial and public amenities along the 30 m central spine, while the residential zones are located based on the integration with the green trail.
