Expanding The Chowk

When examining the scope of the Chandni Chowk, a stretch of historic land in Old Delhi, India that is filled with a large amount of markets, side streets and people, we begin to see that the parks and flood plains behind the Red Fort has been largely neglected as the terrain of the area, the traffic system and the surrounding economic differences has created a space which is very segregated and does not encourage the same amount of social interaction as the greater context of Shahjahanabad. By curating the experience within the Delhi Chalo Park, the Vijay Ghat and the Flood Plains, we can begin to create a harmonious linkage between these three vegetative divisions which can help to connect and extend the Chandni Chowk.
To the east of the Red fort, and on the floodplain of the Yamuna River, are clusters of informal settlements. The communities living in this area have been subjects to the seasonal water changes that the Yamuna has during the monsoon season. This leads the people to constantly migrate from the floodplain, to the side of the roads and highway, which provide a poor living condition and qualitiy of life. This intervention looks to help mitigate this problem of flooding and housing in this area, as it creates connected spaces that can be used during any season, even when the monsoon is at its highest point.

Locals used the land behind the Red Fort as a place of settlement during the dry seasons
Through research of the changing water levels over the years and seasonally with the monsoon season, the locals living in that area would have their settlements destroyed and would have to move upwards and even settle beside the highway.

RE Building Blocks
Jan Paolo Masangkay and Jakob Rowsell l Kristin Beites l ARCH 4515 l APRIL 2022
Through the analysis of the immediate site and it’s context within downtown Sudbury, it was apparent that there was a substantial population that was struggling with a lack of housing and addictions. By using the 6 domains of Social Determinates of Health (SDH) as building blocks the project aims to help rebuild oneself from un-homed and dependent to independence and stability. Programs, like art therapy, counseling, resource centers, cafeteria, and multipurpose rooms integrated within the project directly pertain to the 6 domains. In addition to providing the domains of the SDH the project has also used trauma informed design to ensure comfortability of residences.
Trauma informed design can be defined as a design practice that uses the core principles of trauma informed care; empathy and understanding. When design for residence who have experienced or experiencing traumatic events, like homelessness and additions, it is important to be mindful in the design of the spaces they will inhabit. Avoiding design cues to traumatic events is an integral part of creating a space that allows it’s users to feel safe, relax and comfortable.

The fourth floor is the start of the transitional and affordable housing units. What you will notice on all housing plans, the units are all south and west facing, which was a design decision made early to allow proper daylighting and heating to all units. What you will also notice is the breakout spaces within the hallways, the extra wide corridors allow for spaces of unit interactions as well as balcony spaces looking towards the north. The individual condition for the fourth floor is the multipurpose space, double heighted cafeteria, and kitchen on the west side.
