The document provides a comprehensive case study of Dilli Haat, an Indian market designed to showcase traditional crafts, food, and cultural activities in a contemporary village market setting. It discusses various aspects such as location, features, circulation, security, and environmental impact, illustrating how the design supports efficient public interaction and urban value. The analysis includes qualitative evaluations of spatial configuration using space syntax tools, highlighting the integration of different structures and services within the site.

• To study the variety of displays in a haat.
• To study the circulation and the services provided.
• To study the traffic management within and outside the haat.

• To study the requirements of the haat.
• To study the sizes of the stalls and other structures.
• To finalize the requirements through the case study.
B-INTRODUCTION
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 .
It provides encouragement to need artists and serves as an outlet centre for them .
A small food court which brings a variety of cuisines of different states together.

6. D-FEATURES
• 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 are INTEGRATION, CHOICE AND DEPTH
DISTANCE.
•INTEGRATION measures 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.

7. • The CHOICE measure 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 DISTANCE is 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.

8. 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.

• 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.

20. 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.
10-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.
