The Jasola Intersection

This being the major intersection between the colonies on both side of the bank with clearly lacks the social cohesion between the two, the proposal was to connect vertically the pedestrian path and promenade along the stretch of the canal, while also proposing horizontal pedestrian connectivity as a avenue from Jasola Village till Shaheenbagh and the bridge being the intersection between the two will lead as social cohesion factor. As the connectivity with the colonies increases by adding new paths like noor nagar’s and gaffar manliz’s connectivity with the canal and also with the state highway leading to more footfall.

Shaheenbagh Public Square

This proposal on the Shaheenbagh canal bank is a space for the local gathering. For hawkers and vendors for selling vegetable etc. Lush green spaces are also designed for gatherings, recreational and visual need for the residents in the colony. On the entrance a event lawn has been designed as pedestrian are entering from the bridge or the other side of the canal. Designed has been inspired by the step wells of Rajasthan.

Event area and other small interventions

To increase the economical impact proposal of spaces includes intervention which considers local stakeholder and addresses issues in a surgical manner. Small intervention design wise but these have big economical impact. Police station near the bridge have been relocated off from the intersection. This is because the intersection space is of high value and should be designed as a open public space to take advantage of the situation and in return it will increase over all value of the area.

Metro dock yard

The dockyard will combine activities to provide relaxed spatial experiences with shaded areas contrasting with the efficient and social display. By commemorating weekly bazaars under the dockyard, this would give a vision for urban living by providing a dynamic public realm that mixes semi outdoor experience. The crux of the design is to reduce hight of boundary wall along the dock yard which is major reason for creating this dead space. The Inside space should be maintained with little landscape and the space should be given to hawkers and vendors for commercial activity.
