GANDHINAGAR - ANALYSIS
SECTOR 11 - ANALYSIS
FROM THE YEAR OF INCEPTION POPULATION DENSITY SEEMS SIGNIFICANTLY LOW
LANDUSE SEEMS VERY DISINTEGRATED
REDENSIFICATION OF GANDHINAGAR NECESSARY
NEEDS MIXED APPROACH FOR GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY
WEAK NODES WITH NO IDENTITY, CREATES LOSS OF ORIENTATION
CREATION OF NODES AS LANDMARKS FOR ORIENTATION
CONTINUOUS LANDUSES WITH NO BRAKES CAUSING MONOTONY IN THE EDGE
MAKING BLOCKS SMALLER THAN 200M FOR DIVERSITY AND POROSITY ALLOWING INTERACTION WITH THE BUILTMASS
OWNERSHIP RATIO IS VERY SKEWED
LAND OWNERSHIP REQUIRES REVISIT FOR MARKET VIABILITY
EMPTY CENTRE CAUSING LOSS OF LIFE IN THE CORE
CREATING COHERENT BUILTMASS WITH AN ACTIVE CORE PROVIDING FOR ACTIVITY INDUCING FUNCTIONS
TRANSFORMATION
BEFORE AFTERThe Civic Sector was a blank site. Under Utilised, lacking Identity and a place with no rememberance.
The developed Civic Center offers for a vibrant Sector with Equal opportunities for all. Loaded with nodes, junctions, activities and confrontations which makes it a Place.

The pedestrian cut through that connects the Govt. and Private Offices to the transit hub at the corner of the Sector. Also it connects the Residential and Educational parcels to the Central Vista ( Swarnim Park ).
The plaza : This shows how people from different ethnicity and arrangements can utilize the plaza. Office people walking to commute, couple mingling, kids sitting in the lawn, while others just observing.
The Shopping Arcade : Just before entering the Plaza. The ARCH makes a welcoming gesture to the wanderer. Making the people want to enter the Plaza with joy and expectation to be retrieved by the community with warmth.
The Plaza:
View of the Addressing Platform. And on other days just a slope and seating to sit on. This view also shows the scale of the built-mass around giving a fair relatable understanding of orientation.
