BINTRODUCTIO
N
DILLI HAAT is a project of Delhi tourism and New Delhi municipal corporation. It
provides an ambience of a traditional village market for more contemporary
needs. It provides a synthesis of craft, food , and cultural activities.
DILLI HAAT is not just a market place; it has been visualized as a showpiece of
traditional Indian culture- a forum where rural life and folk art are brought closer to
an urban business.

These shops change hands every 15 days and therefore provide opportunity to the
visitors with a different set of shops periodically and therefore motivates them to
keep revisiting again and again .

an entrance plaza, raised to block vehicular access and bring a new spatial
identity for pedestrian circulation and ticketing services for entry to Dilli Haat.
It is followed by a linear spine of movement flanked by stalls on both sides in
cluster patterns showcasing the local and the regional crafts of India.
Space syntax tools have been used to study the interaction between the spatial
configuration and public movement in this spatial typology in an urban context.

SPACE SYNTAX
The three most popular ways of analysing a street network
areINTEGRATION,CHOICEANDDEPTH DISTANCE.
INTEGRATIONmeasures how many turns have to be made from a street
segment to reach all other street segments in the network, using shortest paths. If
the number of turns required for reaching all segments in the graph is analyzed,
the analysis is said to measure integration at radius 'n'. The first intersecting
segment requires only one turn, the second two turns and so on. The street
segments that require the fewest turns to reach all other streets are called 'most
integrated' and are usually represented with hotter colors, such as red or yellow.

 TheCHOICEmeasure is easiest to understand as a 'water-flow' in the street

network. Imagine that each street segment is given an initial load of one unit of
water, which then starts pours from the starting street segment to all segments
that successively connect to it. Each time an intersection appears, the remaining
value of flow is divided equally amongst the splitting streets, until all the other
street segments in the graph are reached. For instance, at the first intersection
with a single other street, the initial value of one is split into two remaining
values of one half, and allocated to the two intersecting street segments. Moving
further down, the remaining one half value is again split among the intersecting
streets and so on. When the same procedure has been conducted using each
segment as a starting point for the initial value of one, a graph of final values
appears. The streets with the highest total values of accumulated flow are said
to have the highest choice values.
DEPTH DISTANCEis the most intuitive of the analysis methods. It explains the
linear distance from the center point of each street segment to the center points
of all the other segments. If every segment is successively chosen as a starting
point, a graph of accumulative final values is achieved. The streets with lowest
Depth Distance values are said to be nearest to all the other streets.

SPACE SYNTAX USE IN DILLI HAAT

The connectivity analysis of the axial map of Dilli Haat shows that the street
corresponding to the first half of central spine from entrance has the highest
values of connectivity but comparatively smaller values of integration to the
overall system. This is by virtue of its linear character which supports its function
as a shopping street.
In comparison, the latter half of the central spine with a nearer value in
connectivity has very high value of integration as it is well integrated into the
network of food zones on both sides.
The food zones that flank as networks on both sides of the spine after the round
about has a medium level of visual connectivity and integration. The lower most
portion of the site has lesser integration levels due to its visual discontinuity. This
is visible through in-situ observation.
Space syntax tools further reveals the underlying properties of the spatial
configuration of Dilli Haat. It has a strong potential to illustrate how urban spaces
and their configurations can translate into positive public value.

From the entrance to the end of the complex , the circulation is entirely
pedestrian.
By the use of ramps and steps , lots of levels have been created to define
buildings more distinctly.
Circulation in front of shops is through a verandah covered arcade 1.5 m wide.
The spaces also get varied character because
the plaza changes character from a large
entrance plaza to an oblong open space.
2 Service entrance has been
provided on the periphery.

9-EFFICIENCY

Evolved from an open left over space with storm water drain, garbage dump
and a line of some vegetation, Dilli Haat has emerged as an active and
engaging public space with an over growing demand and high footfalls.
The chosen site of 100 x 300m comprised of a 23m wide storm water drain
(Nallah in local language), a garbage dumping ground often used for
outdoor defecation and sanitation purposes.
Along the site were number of trees lining both sides of the drain, giving it a
linear flowing character but with an identity of a left over space.
It witnesses up to 7000 people on weekends or holidays and about 3000 on
weekdays.

CLIMATIC RESPONSE

A belt of trees like neem and peepal surrounding complex serves as an effective
natural filters for dust and for the chemical discharge that pollutes the
atmosphere.
Due to presence of trees the temperature remains comfortable.
Bamboo shades have been provided in food plaza as well as in arcade.
