Dwarka is an up-market and one of the most sought after residential areas in South-West Delhi. It has a large diversity within it’s population and the socio-cultural equipment available in the hands of the planners and decision makers could help in bridging the gap between different social and religious groups and generate a cohesive society.

The aim was to design a socio- cultural center in Dwarka that identifies the spatial requirements and needs of the community which are translated into types and quality of spaces.

Plaza Design

Interim Judicial Complex

Central Plaza serves as a gathering space for the people adding onto the “publicity� of the Govt. building as a wide spatial component; catering to social, political, cultural and recreational needs of the masses. It also acts as a vantage point for the public to admire the grandeur of the Judicial Complex.

The central median design is key component to the design development of the Judicial Complex providing a foreground to the majestic architectural approach / style of the building.

Linear Greens (Urban Cool Spots) Concept Design

Proposed Linear Greens Area – 300 acres 10% Built Up is Proposed in all Linear Greens to activate the open spaces.

Design considerations: • Ensure visibiltiy throughout linear green for ease of access between 50m and 17m roads and safety and security of users at different times of the day.

• Provide shade through trees with large canopies while ensuring not to compromise on visibility.

• Programming is zoned based on type of street - 50m road has eating spaces to cater to people passing by while daily commercial toward 17m road caters to needs of community.

Forced evictions and resettlement of central slums have become a common and inevitable part of the development of cities in the global South. One of the recent examples is the relocation of squatter settlements to the city margins to make way for infrastructural up gradation and cosmetic treatment.

Savda Ghevra, as an ethnographically strategic site, offers insights into the ‘system’ or set of interrelations in which it is situated, which include the planner’s designs for the colony, households balancing residence against livelihood opportunities, women residents working for NGOs etc.

Socio-Morphological Restructuring of Savda Ghevra - A Resettlement Colony in Peri-Urban Area of Delhi Post Graduate Thesis

This thesis is an attempt to provide an essential ballast to a habitable society through inclusive neighbourhood design.

Array of Accretions

SAVDA GHEVRA AT A GLANCE

Neighbourhoods offer a sense of belongingness and security within its inhabitants which is seen absent in the current face of relocated neighbourhoods.

As a result the present urban agglomeration is characterised by uncertainty, hostility and lack of responsibility towards the society giving rise to splintering neighbourhoods.

RESETTLEMENT COLONIES_ planned, formal, legitimate as well as legal, though with restrictions on the last count. They are planned in the sense that they are explicitly included within the development area of the master plan in a zone marked for residential use, laid out according to standards and norms for resettlement colonies in the master plan.
