➔ The site abuts a 15m wide road (Rajesh Pilot

Marg) which connects major parts of the city
➔ Commercial centre is within a walkability radius
from the neighbouring area
➔ No designated stand for autos which cause
congestion outside the main entry
➔ Cycle lanes should be provided to promote a
car-free zone

VEHICULAR CIRCULATION

➔ Designed parking position inside the

site
➔ Insufficient to accommodate the
number of cars using the precinct
➔ Causes on street parking which in
turn slows the circulation within the
site
➔ Narrower streets adjacent to the rest
of the sides, promote a one-way
circulation.

ISSUE

Vehicle users take the wrong turn from maharishi raman marg in order
to enter the site directly, creating a high intensity zone at the junction

the hot summer months.
➔ Walkways from the transit points are well shaded and makes walkability easier

➔ Buildings are predominantly low in

height which makes the built mass of
human scale

➔ A very tall structure would stand out

from the context and not give a sense
