THEME BASED DESERT CAMP 1

JUHI JAIN THESIS 2011 THEME BASED DESERT CAMP

1 DILLI HAAT

Dilli Haat has been planned as a democratic space in the city. Public space is integrated with

a backdrop of a food and craft market to create an ambience reminiscent of traditional

Indian bazaars. This is an egalitarian space where people from all sections of the society

come to buy crafts, to eat, to relax and to engage in diverse social interaction. Unlike the

traditional weekly market, the village Haat, Dilli Haat is permanent. Some shops are

permanent but other sellers are rotated, usually for fifteen days. Products offered may

include rosewood and sandalwood carvings, embellished camel hide footwear,

sophisticated fabric and drapery, gems, beads, brassware, metal crafts, and silk and wool

fabrics. Shows promoting handicrafts and handlooms are held at the exhibition hall in the

complex. To sell wares, there is an application process and spaces are allocated according to

which state the seller is from. On festive occasions activities like mehandi, friendship band

making, calligraphy, name writing on rice grain etc also take place.

1.1 PURPOSE OF CASE STUDY

To study the various permanent structures, temporary structures, display systems of shops and the

activities associated with each area.

1.2 AREA DISTRIBUTION

Dilli Haat covers an area of 2.4 hectares (6 acres) of land. The site was reclaimed by covering

a storm water drain with slab. The entire area has been divided into several spaces, they are

administrative offices, shopping street, food courts, meeting hall, public toilets, drinking

water area, and amphitheater respectively. The buildings, constructed in exposed brick and

stone, with shady verandahs have been inspired by the vernacular architecture of the region

(Refer Plate 1).

the food courts and ends at the amphitheater which is the termination point of Dilli Haat

(Refer Plate 2).

Plate 7: Signage at Dilli Haat

1.8 MERITS

Both permanent and temporary kiosks have adequate space for products.

1.9 DEMERITS

Shelves provided inside the permanent kiosks are very small, thus inadequate for

keeping wares

Signages can be improved and can be more eye catchy.
