• Informal roads should converted to paved formal road to provide circulation in and around the site.

• The urban village have informal development pattern which leads to non-vechicular access in inner zones of settlement.

• To counter the Shortage and issue of Illegal parking formal Parking spaces are required.

• Mixed-use Development is helpful to micro economy, the location is ideal due to the presence of existing commercial zone at Old MB road.

• The location of Museum is also significant due the location of lado sarai near to historical Monuments like Qutub minar,etc • The sky line of Lado Sarai consist of Mid-Rise development block which restrict the new development to go beyond that i.e. G+6 around.

• MCD school have vacant land in the northern part of the site which can be used to develop Senior secondary school extension with a separate entrance.

• Underpass is proposed to develop on phirni-MB road junction which also help to provide accessibility between Mixed use development and DDA park.

BUILDING USE PLAN

• The predominant use of the buildings is residential.

• Major roads have mixed-use development.

• Old MB Road has seen a major transformation in recent times, with the introduction of new art galleries, showrooms and designer studios.

• The few public buildings are schools, a mosque, temples and tombs.

• These open spaces are used as bus and car parking spaces by the community.

• The pedestrian network is part of the organic development of the village and is now subject to vehicular traffic causing distress among the pedestrians

• Lado Sarai may have a strategic or desirable location, providing easy access to residents and visitors.

• The site proximity helping the institutional dvelopment like museum, school etc.

• The Skyline of lado sarai consist of mid-rise and low rise buildings leads to constrain the new development building height.

• Lack of adequate infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) can decrease the development’s functionality • Lado Sarai has a rich cultural history, incorporating it into the project help Architecture Design.

• The development help to create a urban precinct for the residents of lado sarai which help in social harmony • Lack of vehicular accessibility in the internal areas of lado sarai.

• Presence of alluvial soil due to yamuna basin leads to various structure constrain and special consideration for structure like raft foundation etc.

Lado Sarai is a vibrant urban village located in South Delhi, India.

While primarily known for its cultural significance and commercial activities, it also offers a unique glimpse into the architectural heritage of the region.

• Historical Context: Lado Sarai’s architectural landscape is deeply rooted in history. The area was traditionally inhabited by farming communities and later developed into a bustling village.

• Vernacular Architecture: Like many urban villages in Delhi, Lado Sarai features vernacular architecture characterized by its simplicity and functionality.

• Contemporary Development: In recent years, Lado Sarai has witnessed significant urban development and gentrification.

This has led to the construction of modern buildings, including commercial complexes, residential apartments, and upscale restaurants.

• The First one is the section containing a bus depot with a CNG station, which is not in use currently.

• The entrance of the depot is located very near a major traffic junction thereby creating conflict with traffic movement.

• The second condition is in the middle which has a public garden from where the local people access MB Road. It consists of the DDA Park, a tomb protected by the State Archaeological Department and parking space.

• The third condition has a boundary wall around vacant DDA land allotted to Aurobindo College which is used as a garbage dumping ground.

• Right of Way of MB Road is mentioned as 60 m in the DDA Zonal Plan, but only about 40 m is currently in use as a road. It acts as an arterial road and carries through traffic towards Faridabad.
