URBAN HAAT, DWARKA, DELHI

INTRODUCTION-
WHAT IS URBAN HAAT?
Urban haat is a ever-permanent fair for craft, food and cultural activities. The craftsmen from
various areas and the cultural happenings provided a paranoiac view of richness diversity of
handcraft and art crafts.

In their more conservative and tradition – bound regions they are a marketplace for a self –
employed producer –vendor who attracts the shopper.

WHY FAMOUS IN INDIA?

Urban haat is famous in India for its authentic handicraft shops. It gives a boost to tourism.

NEED AND PURPOSE –

Urban haat is a part of planning. It will serve a platform for residence to connect to
conventional as well as contemporary shifts in art and lifestyle.

The haat is flexible and informal and therefore both vigorous ,vibrant and full of its own
rhythm and dynamics it have been reduced to a relic for tourism only, to promote the
culture of different cities of India at one place urban haat is needed.

It serves two purposes-

 Firstly, they are the centralized marketing centers for a large number of rural
producers who need to reach where the purchasing power lies, within minimum
overheads and flexible stocks.
 Secondly, they function as an informal wholesale market for self-employed vendors
with very little capital.

Urban haat /spaces have potential to support growth in the evening and night time
economy not in terms of pubs, discos and bars but also events such as night markets,
outdoor concerts, firework display, water and light shows, food festivals etc.

JUSTIFICATION FOR THE TOPIC

8
  Modern art forms are impressive and attract more attention toward them but they
cannot match everlasting mark of culture and tradition of a certain place as the rural
arts and crafts.

 These arts forms speak for themselves, and it’s the need of the hour to keep the glory
of past and encourage them. Especially in country like India, which is filled with these
cultural heritages and is passed on from generations for thousands of years. But in
recent times these seems to be lost. Hence, this project will act as platform for artisans
to showcase their talent.

 This will also help them economically, as these project are a part of Govt. of India’s
Policy for setting up of permanent marketing infrastructure to eliminate the middle
agencies facilitating the artisans to sell their products directly to the customers.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT –

 Use of eco-friendly technologies i.e. energy efficient materials to minimize the effects
on environment.
 Delhi as being the capital of India and also rich in heritage, so the main interest of
tourists, visitors heritage and local art the worker and visitors both will get better
facilities.

AIM OF THE PROJECT
‘Haat Beat’ was the starting point to the design. DTTDC has promoted music all across Delhi
with its concerts and other initiatives. The idea was to give them a home for playful music and
give these homes a place to play with music. This was the underlying layer that bonded the
overall program of formal and informal shops to sell crafts and celebrate culture; to inject a
new life into this part of Delhi and be its rhythmic ‘heart beat’.

Dilli Haats need to have a common ground of bringing artisans to interface with city dwellers.
All these haats need their own identity to attract people not only from their own
neighborhood, but from the city at large.

CONCEPT OF DESIGN
Barrier free concept was the concept of the design.

As made for locals and visitors barrier free techniques provided like ramps, proper signage
etc. through entire site especially for disabled people.Easy access with over bridges.

The design solution therefore, is a conversation between the past and the present,
acknowledgement of the traditional and its adaptation in contemporary times, in concept and
in construction.
