site description Located in the West Delhi, Punjabi Bagh has emerged as one of the posh residential locality of Delhi. Punjabi Bagh (Ward-103) falls under DDA planning subzone G-10. The site is an edge between the plotted residential neighbourhood of Punjabi Bagh, the apartment housing of Paschim Vihar and the Madipur urban village in Delhi. Currently, the site is lying vacant and is being used for dumping garbage on the edges, illegal parking and for holding marriage ceremonies, Dussehra and Diwali melas. Located at the intersection of three different urban grains i.e. posh residential neighbouhood, urban village and apartment housing, the site offers the optimum location to serve as a third place, where people from all different communities can gather to work, learn and share knowledge.

Active Public Gathering Space

Self-Contained Environment

Binding spaces

Need of the users Being re-imagined as a third place that will help in binding the communities, it is vital for the proposed community space to address to the needs and aspirations of people of all age groups from all the communities around. There is a need observed for public learning and working centre along with the community spaces. Instead of designing a traditional community centre, all the components are re-imagined in order to create an active and vibrant community place.

Public Driveway

To create the driveways for public and private transport that will ease the vehicular accessibility from the two adjacent roads i.e Club road and Vishnu Mandir Marg to and from the site, alongside ensuring proper pedestrian footpaths.

Functional Zoning

Retail Node

To create the different entry nodes and connectivity nodes and joining them through axes forming the walkable streets; designing the walkable streets, then creating the open spaces (greens) and the built forms around the axes.

Context Determinants

Private Public

Blurring Boundaries

Formal and Informal

Integrating the Functions

Common Spill-Out Spaces

SemiPublic Public

Due to multiple entry points, the site witnesses the most public zones on the edges adjacent to the main roads. The functional zoning assists in directing the mixed use of volumes in coherence with various components and their uses.

The existing features around the site such as jheel park and different kinds of neighbourhoods determine the functional design of the site edges. In order to create a neutral ground for everyone, the site boundaries are treated without any physical barriers thus blurring the boundaries.

north-south oriented blocks ensuring optimum orientation of building blocks

vertical courtyard

creating atriums in between such that the surrounding spaces look into the central part of the built “vertically”
