Objectives for rejuvenating Gandhi road :

Interactive Facade :
1. To create a hassle free public realm.
2. To incentivise the small food vendors by integrating them as place markers into the urban fabric.
The first approach is to amalgamate smaller shops and buildings togehter to create a cohesive builtform. To maximise the complete potential of the land and its value. the amalgamation of smaller shop buildings and derelict structures which as on the verge of falling down can help cater to the verticle growth that is happening randomly along Gandhi road. the amalgamtion can also open up new access routes to create green pocket spaces as well as a trigger follwing development within the pols and communities behind the Gandhi road.
Space for all :
The built form along gandhi road is not uniform. With newer constructions there are buildings upto 5 to 6 floors while the old structures are lying empty and deteriorating. To maximise and incentivise the growth along the Gandhi road it is important to translate the vertical developments in to horizontal ones by malgamation an conservation of the heritage buildings creating multiple experience on every level and also opening up small pocket spaces for greens and entrances to plots behind them. As well as keeping the respect of the heritage monument and ASI buffer and maintaining a hieght buffer.
Gandhi road is multi - faceted by its charachter. To enhance the experience along Gandhi road further, the road will be a public space for all, with small tempory parking off road, and using derelict structures for parking, restriciting heavy traffic movement, creating a public realm for pedestrians for hassle free movement. Designated vending lanes and a continous plaza. The built form also will respond to these needs, by giving spaces for shops on the ground floor, upper floors can be used as offices, co-working spaces, restaurants, cafes and green terraces could be provided to generate the inflow of people form all walks of life. creating a space for all!
