GARDEN MARKET

Revitalizing Commercial Spaces in Post-Colonial Delhi Imperial Zone

Master’s Thesis Project at Politecnico di Milano Co-Authors: Ammaar Chowdry & Kshitij Bahl Thesis Supervisor: Prof. Gianluca Brunetti

LUTYENS BUNGALOW ZONE

Fig- Changes in LBZ Boundary

Delhi is the most historically rich region of India as it has been the epicenter of important events that drafted the history of the country spanning across various empires and dynasties. The major events took place geographically on the triangular patch of land with River Yamuna on one side. Delhi is also located along the major silk route that runs along the Gangetic plain. and the northern Aravalli ranges on the other sides. The British East India Company captured New Delhi in the year 1803 after the second Anglo-Maratha War. On today’s date, Delhi is divided into Old and New Delhi. The formation of New Delhi occurred after the capital of India was shifted from Calcutta in December 1911 by the British Raj who felt it would easier to administer from the central location of Delhi. The foundation for the viceroy’s residence was laid in the Coronation Park, Kingsway, and the declaration of the shift of capital was made during the Delhi Durbar. The design for the new Imperial city was given to Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, both leading architects of the 20th century. The Imperial City was not enjoyed for long by British empire as India gained independence in the year 1947. The Imperial New Delhi Capital city (henceforth to be mentioned as LBZ) was designed on the concept of a “garden city”. The design of this area boasts to be a fine blend of classical with modern architecture and is laid out on the garden city principles of Ebenezer Howard. The formation of the Delhi Development Authority in 1958 resulted in the preparation of the MDP which immediately led to rapid urbanization of parts of Delhi. The rate at which this occurred was extremely rapid that the need for the conservation of this central area became a priority. Fig- Delhi Green Cover & LBZ 06

Fig- Land Use in LBZ and DIZ

These recommendations caused developments within the LBZ at an alarming rate. Majority of these developments started around the Gole Market Area and then proceeded around the Connaught Place. Due to this, in 1988, the boundary of the LBZ was revised and a new boundary was introduced which excluded many of these zones from the LBZ. But the change in boundaries have been quite vague and resulted in excluding many of the zones designed by Lutyens himself from the LBZ. Furthermore, a second and third boundary change occurred in the years 2003 and 2015, respectively. The LBZ area originally comprised of an area of 25.88 sq km and in today’s date comprises of 28.73 sq km after the removal of some originally planned areas and addition of other spaces.

Fig- Govt Bungalow in LBZ.

The LBZ corresponds to the Zone D of the MPD 2021 comprising approximately 2% of the overall area of the city. The major differentiation between the LBZ with the rest of the city is the large expanse of green cover than contributes in being the “lung space” for New Delhi. The key characteristic of the Lutyens Bungalow Zone, as indicated in the name itself, are the bungalows of the area. The bungalows are the primary reason for the LBZ to be a high security area as the VVIPs and the government functionaries reside here. Approximately the number of residential bungalow plots are about 600 in number spread across LBZ. The bungalows too follow the concept of a garden city where less than 1 FAR is allowed per plot to maximize on the green spaces for the region.

DELHI IMPERICAL ZONE

Fig- Inferences from Urban Study of DIZ

In 1988, a major chunk of land in the Northern side of LBZ was removed from the boundary. As mentioned earlier, the exact reasoning and justification for the removal of this location remains unclear as many historical locations are present within these areas. The Gole Market, a prominent market hall designed by Lutyens, the New Delhi general post office designed by Robert Tor Russel, the Connaught Place designed by WH Nicholls are some of the historical landmarks present in this locality. Urban development projects were planned and executed at a rapid pace, at extensive costs to the government. Large portions of the forested ridge were developed as governmental enclaves in a southward expansion of colonial New Delhi. This area that was removed from the LBZ, was termed as the Delhi Imperial Zone. Extensive redevelopment started to occur around the Gole Market area and several multistorey buildings were constructed around the Connaught Place. But due to the startling rise in development and the elaborate transformation, a ban was placed on the development that occurred in the DIZ. The DIZ falls under Zone D5 of the New Delhi masterplan. It includes government of India headquarters, private housing, the Central Business district, & prominent institutional areas. The projected population of the area for 2021 is 4.19 lakhs. “The DIZ still contains traces of it’s originally planned Lutyen’s Delhi neighbour but has been infiltrated with excessive alien construction resulting in loss of character.” 08

BHAGAT SINGH MARG - Gole Market Neighbourhood

Fig- Inferences from Urban Study of Gole Market Neighbourhood

The urban study of the neighbourhood entailed finding out what the current function of each building around the Gole Market, especially within the Bhagat Singh Marg. The market stretch was predominantly mixed use in nature with the lower levels consisting of the commercial functions and the upper levels consisted of small to midrange housing units. The built morphology was linear in nature with the major shop fronts accessible from the inner lanes rather than the main road. The two prominent government structures within this zone are a Temple, adjacent to the Gole Market and a Government dairy manufacturing unit. The major transportation axis is present on the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Marg, linking the Gole Market to Connaught place, hence the pedestrian zones on this stretch has no demarcation from the vehicular traffic. Currently, the Gole Market circle is one of the busiest traffic roundabouts of New Delhi. Flanked by vehicular ways on all sides, the accessibility to the market is close to none. The location of the Gole Market structure was a part of the larger urban plan by Lutyens creating another axis to Connaught Place-a large shopping area. Together, these two would cater to the daily and commercial needs of the government employees, the bureaucrats, and the largely residential neighborhood of Lutyens Delhi. “ The Bhagat Singh Market is heavily underutilized and despite having a large built area of commercial facilities, lacks any form of public infrastructure and spaces for other activities.” 09

PROPOSED ARCHITECTURAL BRIEF COUNTER PROPOSAL

Fig- Analyzing the Government Proposals

1. In 2017, the NDMC revealed plans to convert the Gole Market into a museum and a full heritage status was granted to the market. The museum at Gole Market will present the history of Lutyens’ Delhi and will include photographs and artifacts. 2. The proposal for the Bhagat Singh Marg includes the demolition of the entire area and the construction of a tenstory night bazaar. This large multi-story structure would include a shopping complex and would take inspiration from Mustafa Centre in Singapore – a 24x7 shopping mall. The idea behind the shopping mall is also to include “bazaars” or vendors to use some of the open spaces to make sales. Counter Proposal Though the current proposal by the government will bring the Gole Market back to life and bring a centralized commercial complex, these two proposals are quite alienated to the context and to each other. The current plans by Abha Narain for the Gole Market do not solve the issue of accessibility to the Gole Market and a museum in an island traffic roundabout would not attract the users as much.

“ Would these proposals be the right solution for a former Lutyens Site? If Lutyens Delhi was planned with the principles of the Garden City, can the Gole Market be reimagined as a Garden Market?” 10

Feasibility of Government Proposal:

Understanding Commercial Trends in Central Delhi

COMMERCIAL TRENDS in CENTRAL DELHI •

Approximately 59% of the modern retail stores in NCR are on shopping streets. The Central Delhi zone is almost entirely represented by shopping streets like Connaught Place, Chandni Chowk, Janpath and Karol Bagh.

•

A substantial 61% of Central Delhi modern retail stores are operated by local retailers.

•

A prominent 68% of the stores in NCR malls are in the range of 500-2,000 sq ft, while only 10 per cent of the stores are less than 500 sq ft in size.

•

Shopping streets can be organic, like Khan Market, or planned, like Connaught Place, and their store sizes are smaller than those of malls.

•

5% of the total stores in NCR’s shopping streets are less than 1,000 sq ft in size.

•

Since Central Delhi is an administrative zone, modern brick and mortar retail will continue to flourish on the shopping streets of Connaught Place, Khan Market and Karol Bagh.

Transformations in Plans over Time

One of the few spaces designed by Lutyens himself, the Gole Market neighbourhood takes its name from the significant architectural structure built on a traffic roundabout. Built in the year 1921, it is one of the oldest surviving colonial markets and its name is derived from the dodecagonal shape. After partition of India in 1947, The market became the center for refugees hosted by painter BC Sanyal and his wife Snehlata. They converted the abandoned market into a refugee studio & taught the people there the crafts and soon it was known as Gallery 26. After this, the building again took its role as a market and multiple stores and fast-food restaurants cropped up within. The NDMC declared the building as unsafe in the year 2007 and an eviction notice was sent out and after several court cases the building was finally vacated by 2013.

RETAIL PARK

The retail park is the largest intervention of the project. The transition from the Gole Market is through a large expanse of an open park with sparse temporary store outlets. Hence, it is necessary to gradually increase the built spaces to not create a stark builtopen scenario. The individual retail blocks comprise of stores of varying sizes. At ground level, the user navigates through a series of open garden spaces to reach different blocks.

At ground level, every retail block consists of a large double volumed gallery. The garden alleys that are created lead users into these galleries – all of which are interconnected with each other visually and through a pedestrian passage. The activities of the markets are therefore removed from the alleys and put into these galleries. The galleries offer direct views and access to the users into different stores. These spaces are volumetrically large enough to include vending carts, hawkers, seating and interacting spaces. While the galleries form the interactive space in the ground level, every block has an accessible terrace space. Each terrace is linked to the terrace of the adjacent block. “The retail park aims at retaining the contextual character of Delhi Markets – keeping in mind the normalized chaotic nature of the activities and the informality of the spaces, but at the same time enhancing these with increased functionality and better comfort. ”

CUT-AWAY ISOMETRIC - Store Module

SECTIONAL PERSPECTIVE - Store Module

Focusing on a single block in the retail park, access to every block is from all four sides. The major access remains through the gallery from two sides, while the garden alleys pierce through these blocks to form secondary entrance points. At ground level, two shops are physically accessible, and a large corner glazed store front creates a thorough visual access into the stores. The staircase and elevator core takes the user into the upper levels which consist of a landscaped deck and a lobby acting as the forefront for the two stores located on the upper level. The lobby continues to have a direct link with the gallery below, which large, glazed shop fronts are provided even in the upper level for user visibility. The top level breaks away from the typical layout as a large terrace garden is introduced – directly accessible from the second-floor lobby. In multiple cases, this terrace extends beyond the boundary of the block to meet the adjacent block.

RENDER VISUALISATIONS

MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT

The final layer of the park, the mixed-use development replaces the existing housing but blending it seamlessly with the rest of the project so as to not intertwine the two functions. The project is divided into a set of two twin blocks laid out on the site with two distinct entries for the commercial facilities and the residential units. The vehicular access is from the Bangla Sahib Road with a set of ramps that takes the users to the basement level car parking. The pedstrian access is from all the four sides. Keeping in mind the incremental strategy of store sizes, the commercial stores are more than 500sq.m and look at catering to supermarkets and large-scale retail stores. The stores are in the ground level of the structure and the same design concepts of the retail park are maintained. The housing units are located on the upper four levels of the retail stores. All the units are planned around a central courtyard that rests itself on the roof of the stores below. The courtyard effect created allows for a cross flow of air through all units as a result of which the high-density structure still enjoys openness and good air flow.

THE FUTURE

The Garden Market aims at setting a tiny example of how spaces within our cities can be envisioned. The biggest concern of architecture in Indian metropolitans of today’s age is how insensitive they behave towards the context and the environment. In many cases, the designs correspond only to the site where the building is to be placed without much heed given to the effect this intervention has on the street, the neighborhood, and the region. This holds true not only for private development but also for so called public functions that are engulfed by compound walls, disconnecting themselves from the surroundings. The Garden Market tries to reinterpret the principles of Lutyens’ which were applied in the design of Lutyens’ Delhi. 27

WATER SCARCITY AND STRATEGIES National, Regional and City Scale

Morocco is likely to face extreme water scarcity by 2050. A combination of strong population growth in the 20th century, economic development, a strong decline since 1980 in precipitation (-15% to -20%) and a commensurate decline in river runoff (-30% to -40%), has put severe pressure on water resources. (Morocco struggles with acute water stress, 2020). Water availability dropped from 3,500 m3 per person per year in 1960 to 645 m3 per person in 2015, well below the “water poverty level” of 1,000 m3 per person per year’. Even without further change, a projected population of nearly 44 million by 2050 would yield a ratio of 510 m3 per person per year by 2050, which is near the “extreme water scarcity” level of 500 m3 per capita. (Boretti, 2019) Urban water demands may further increase due to rapid socio-economic changes. In Marrakech, the average number of persons per household was 4.3 in 2014, down from 5.4 in 1994. The rapid increase in households’ size may put an upward pressure on urban water demands, like the overall increase in purchasing power and changes in lifestyle of the modern urban population. (Gedam, 2013)

The urban area of Greater Marrakech is home to more than a million inhabitants - located on the Tensift River in the centre of the basin - which is serviced by the autonomous water and electricity utility RADEEMA. Currently, Marrakech’s water demand slightly exceeds allocations as with most urban areas in devoloping countries.

Understanding Socio-Economic Model

Urban Study of Site Neighborhood

The proposed water plant is located in Annakhil, south east Marrakech. The site has a dense building network on the western side of the river but predominantly open land on its eastern side. The entire river edge is serviced by the Avenue al Oued which connects it further to Route de Ourzazate leading towards the Medina. A study of the existing urban fabric brought about the following findings; The neighborhood has densely knit fabric allowing very little open space for airflow. Majority of the buildings are informal housing settlements interspersed with commercial facilities. Prominent educational institutes are in the southern and western portion of the area. The river edge is serviced by a sub arterial road while the other two edges of the site have an arterial road. Despite a well-connected road network, the bus connectivity within the area is insufficient. A clear lack of public spaces and open green spaces is noted.

Masterplan

Hedonistic means to engage in the pursuit of pleasure, and sustainability means, to be able to provide a decent standard of living for everyone today without compromising the needs of future generations. All the analysis and strategy formulated a design brief that proposes a sustainable neighborhood model comprising of a water treatment plant, an agro-innovation district and a leather production district. The primary design goal is to make these three zones inclusive by allowing people to enter the infrastructural units through a juxtaposition of public spaces and amenities, keeping hedonistic sustainability at its core. The common entity tying these three zones together is the waster reusability as all the facilities would be serviced by the water treatment plant and the waste water would be treated there: this would establish a cycle of sustainable resource management, economic benefit and social value. Firstly, the lack of accessibility to the site was addressed by extending the sub arterial roads from Avenue al Oued into the site to create a well-defined loop and cross connection between either side. This divides the site into the three distinct zones. A 10-meter minimum buffer zone is demarcated on either side of the river with bio swales to future proof it from flooding. The entire masterplan is phased out into four parts.

Render Visualisations

This project has been an attempt to understand the sensitive approach necessary to tackle the issue of water scarcity while continuing to achieve wider city ambitions such as improved agricultural output and economic growth. Over the duration of the project, the complex interplay between different actors, activities and contexts that involve water has provided necessary knowledge towards alleviating some of the concerns, where they overlap with the realms of urban design and architecture. The project also was an attempt to deconstruct and revisit the approach with which industrial designs are currently tackled: we propose a decentralized, public, inclusive future for large scale industrial ecological projects that offer multiple benefits to the city and to the immediate population. In this regard, the design of the wastewater park and the redesign of the leather tanneries work towards improving the relationship of these important function with the neighbourhood while boosting their respective outputs and positions in the greater framework of economic, social and cultural models of Marrakech. Finally, the project has highlighted the limitations of urban design and architecture: we do not see this as a problem, rather, welcome the challenges and the opportunities presented to collaborate beyond the discipline with other stakeholders in order to result in the common objective of city-wide development.

Site Plan

Understanding the Neighborhood

The brief was to design a performing arts school with two theatres and guest staff accomodation in a site which had archeological remains underneath for almost half the area and was located in the heart of Milan, just a five minute walk away from the Duomo Cathedral (City Centre). The conceptualization of the project was done based on the context of the site, keeping in mind the archeological site, catering to the public needs of the neighborhood and having a sense of milanese culture to the architecture of the building by adding elements like courtyard, public square and adapted colonnades. The project spans across two building connected in the basement and in the upper floor by a walk-over bridge, creating a sort of a gateway, framing the building, and overlooking the Duomo. Public and Private functions have been clearly segregated and placed thoughtfully. The facade treatments vary from loud to sober styles depicting the contrasting nature of art forms taught in the school.

HEIRARCHY OF COMMUNITY SPACES

The central community center located amidst the two phases offers various vocational trainings, social activities and liesure spaces to its residents.

small pockets of green areas outside each cluster ACT AS SPILL OUT AREAS for adjacent clusters and makes the streetscape vibrant and healthy.

Community Center This is the first level and is centrally located in the site which functions as the central hub for all public activities such as Workshops, library, health centre, bank, guest hotuse,playschool, Banquet hall, etc. The aim of this center is to attain self sustainance by acquiring knowledge, skills and a sense of togetherness. Community Gardens These are the second level of community living. They are garden spaces located between the clusters which act as spill out areas for public gatherings for the old and parks for kids. Community Courtyards The third level and the most basic form of community living which are interacting spaces for inhabitants.

these lung spaces provide ventilation for the buildings. This also includes the vegetable gardens present within the clusters. LEGEND SERVICES MARKET TRUCK/ LCV PARKING 4 WHEELER PARKING 2 WHEELER PARKING FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

Statistics of Fire hazards in India

MACRO LEVEL: Regional analysis The existing set-up of fire services in the country is rather heterogeneous and not conducive to effective protection against increasing incidents of fires. The Fire Services in many States are still the concern of the resource starved local bodies. There are many cities in the country where hundreds of high-rise buildings have come up but the fire service there do not have even a single tall ladder to fight fire and undertake rescue operation. There is a shortage of 97.59% fire stations, 96.28% fireman and 80.04 % Fire Tenders and Rescue vehicles. Urban fire services suffer a deficiencies of 72.75% in fire stations, 78.79% in man power and 22.43% in firefighting and rescue vehicles.

MESO LEVEL: City Analysis Bangalore, the administrative capital of Karnataka State has been substantially affected by globalization and industrialization over the last decade. It is the fifth largest metropolis and is one of the fastest growing cities in Asia. Most of the State Ftire Services do not have specialist firefighting appliances like Turn-table Ladders/ Hydraulic Platforms, Crash Tenders/ Foam Tenders and Rescue Vehicles. Fire Services lack proper type of Rescue Equipments, High Pressure Pumps, Communication Facilities and other Specialist type of firefighting appliances/ equipments. In metropolitan cities like Bangalore, high-rise buildings constitute major fire hazards.

MICRO LEVEL: Site Justification The site that I have chosen for my theses project is located in New Town Yelahanka. It is one of the fastest developing locations in the city of Bangalore. Yelahanka new town is a planned layout with beautiful road connectivity & open space ratio. Perhaps the only amenity it is missing is a fire station of its own. The two closest fire stations are at a distance of 14km & 17km respectively and it would take the fire brigades at least 40 minutes to get to Yelahanka new town & this is undesirable as in that much time a lot of casualties may occur. The site area is around 4.5 acres and the topography is generally flat. The approach road is around 12m wide, with residential neighbourhood, with a lot of high rise apartments coming up in the locality.

Design Development 1. Parking for heavy vehicles like Fire Safety Vehicles and Four wheelers are placed near the entries and pedestrian movement were created in semi-private and private zones

2. The blocks are placed based on zonal heirarchy; the Residential units are placed in the Private sector of the site towards south, the training institute placed in the Semi-private zone where-as firestation and museum are placed in Public sector of the site

An integrated centre which combines various services and activities related to fire safety to serve the society and to create the awareness regarding the same. The prime concept was to design a campus which follows heirarhy of different spaces based on their purpose and easy movement through the entire campus The site is zoned based on four different activities administration, training, exhibition and housing

SITE VIEW AND DETAILS

The Surface Parking is provided in the public sector of the site keeping in mind the proximity of the fire museum and the fire station. It has a seperate entry-exit point.

SITE ANALYSIS The site is located in the CBD of Bangalore and is of a triangular shape. The sun direction is from east to west through south peaking towards the mid day. The prominent wind direction is west to east with the monsoon winds being from north east to south west. The site is flanked by roads on north, east and west sides. Entries to the site are facilitated from the eastern and western roads as they experience moderate traffic compared to the Seshadri road on the north. The internal road network runs as the offset of the entire site boundary used for both pedetrian & vehicular movement with Landscape on either side. This Site is located in Gandhinagar and has connectivity to almost all the areas of Bangalore, the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka,the third most populous city and fifth most populous urban agglomeration in India. On the south side of the site is the Kempegowda bus station, more commonly known as Majestic Bus Station, is a largest transit hub in central Bangalore, India. It is bordered by Seshadri Road to the north, Danavanthri Road to the east, Gubbi Road to the west and the Bus station to its south. Being situated in the central business district of the metropolitan city, the population density is sparingly high and the land usage is broadly commercial. Therefore, The FAR of the area is relatively higher than the rest of the city. Since the lateral growth isn't an option, Going vertical is the solution.
