Dilli Haat Janak Puri is a combination of an open-air market and a state-of-the-art air-conditioned facility, meant to appeal to a modern audience.

3.4.1 CONCEPT

The concept of a crafts haat, with the idea of creating a seamless business interface between the artisans and the buyers.All these haats need their own identity to attract people not only from their own neighborhood, but from the city at large They couldn't be mimicked, either as expansions of previous haats or as imitations of city. They had to be contemporary, in sync with the times, and respectful of the project's craft and cultural . As a result, the design solution is an understanding between the past and the present, an understanding of tradition and its adaptation in modern times, both in idea and in execution.
