ACCESS AND AXES

very little, visually disconnected spill out zones of buildings along the major motorway tall building facades and raised plinth cut off visual connectivity

presently NSP sits as an isolated super block, cut off from its immediate context, comprising of residential and institutional areas.

central core

presently NSP is like a massive box with a central hollow core

Civic Chowk and it s peripheral area needs to be integrated back into the NSP complex

Pitampura residents could have better walkability to NSP and the metro station which would help draw more crowd from these areas The institutional areas are disconnected from NSP by the barreen stretch. However NSP is a flock point for the college crowd, but the transit corridor is not very active

buildings along the periphery of the site act as a buffer for the central core, leading it to become redundant

Kohat enclave has its own retail, however a lack of community space can be catered to by NSP

EXISTING THOROUGHFARES PROPOSED VEHICULAR THOROUGHFARE PROPOSED PEDESTRIAN THOROUGHFARE

the new scheme , on the contrary populates the central core, and creates spillouts and parking spaces along the sites periphery.

The design concept focus on expansion of NSP in order to integrate the various stake holders in the context of the DC

Also the entire site now sits on a unified plinth relative to the road level, which prevents loss of visual connectivity

Shakurpur: people from Shakurpur walk to the metro station through NSP along informal transit paths

parking along the sites periphery

dead space behind NSP , potential to cater as a public realm for people of Shakurpur, as the area is congested with lack of open spaces

Barren stretch near NSP metro station, can be developed to enhance connectivity between NSP, Pitampura and the institutional area adjacent to it railway land, left redunadant, disconnecting Lawrence colony, Ashok Vihar and KeshavPuram from NSP

plazas, parks anfd green belts along the outer perimeter

this empty patch of land bifurcates NSP, reducing footfall at Civic Chowk

HEIGHT MODULATION PARAMETERS

the central area of NSP have shorter buildings , as there is lack of setback space. Also it allows for sufficient daylighting and wind circulation areas with large open spaces like the DDA park have tall buildings

Visitors and tourist mostly enter NSP from LJN Marg. therefore this area is retail oriented. The building heights in this region strictly follow the D/H rqatio of 1:2.5

the reseaon for NSPs isolation are the empty patches of land around NSP which act as negative spaces and raise security concerns

Creamation Ground: asite deliberately not considered as a development site,

view from the NSP Metro station

VISUAL ACCESSIBILITY

visual axis pedestrian access

Direct Visual connection to the destination enhances walkability. In this case, the metro station is not only given a direct physical path but a visual connectivity from Shakurpur , making it convenient for people to walk to it.
