We teamed up with Anagram (Madhav and Dimri), an architectural firm in Delhi, to demonstrate the potential of multi-disciplinary interventions in driving innovation & constructive action in urban design and planning (to no one in particular.. just hoping it’ll catch the buzz).
The project was to conceptualise a sustainable urban experience in what is now a largely defunct urban infrastructure in the heart Delhi – a stretch of railway line that runs between Nizammudin & Dhaula Kuan (further connecting to Mayapuri & the industrial belt beyond). With competing and more efficient modes of transport that run parallel to this stretch, the railway line in this zone is now a ghost stretch with little or no commuter traffic. The city on the other hand, is burgeoning around its fringes and in its wake transforming into a landscape that has little allegiance to its past.
We started it off today with a journey down this track to soak ourselves in the experiences and sights along this stretch… here are a few initial observations.
It remains an independent project for Anagram & Quicksand. So keep looking out at this space for progress on this (use the tags to track further developments)
TAGGED AS: ring rail, urban design, urban intelligence, urban planning
