Design Concept
From a planning perspective, the association of the squares making up the arrangement
discovers associations with the chronicled real factors of the urban areas of Rajasthan and
Udaipur, which have described the metropolitan texture of India and which are recognized
by the thickness of the possessed territory and for the cozy connection among open and shut
spaces. It is a complex of 550 residential apartments, on a great deal encompassed by carports
interfacing and circumscribing the Chirag Delhi private region and the public offices of the
Nighurhard Park and Sheik Sarai Commercial Center.
The design is based on a clear pattern: connecting movement to space, from person to
neighborhood and pedestrian to vehicular. The individual-to-community equation was
structured through a progression of private spaces to squares of varying sizes with shaded
paths running throughout. The vehicular to pedestrian zones flow from the outer margins to
the inner areas of the scheme, overlapping accordingly to create access points along the
periphery. All the units have been provided with courtyards or roof top terraces.

The housing units were classified into types. The break-up of the units was as follows -
• Category 1 - 48 units (1 Bedroom).
• Category 2 - 557 units (2 and 3 Bedrooms) and MIG - 192 units (3 Bedrooms).
Categories 1 and 2 were under the Self-Financing Scheme (SFS). Raj Rewal was the architect
of the units in Sector D only, which consisted of the Category 2 units only.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the Sheikh Sarai Project resembles the morphology of medieval Indian cities
and its white composition, intentionally modem, is reminiscent of Udaipur. Most
importantly, the housing scheme stands as yet another landmark in Delhi housing chronology
and is responsible for the DDA's middle-income housing to reach the limelight once again.
Urban-scape at the site level, the architect developed the project by employing urban
strategies of articulated flows, segregated spaces and applied the same on the site level.
Therefore in a structured urban settlement. Raj Rewal designed the layout density at Sheikh
Sarai as 100 DU/ha which was about 11% greater than the master plan applications.
5.3 Precedent 2 : Aranya Low Cost Housing
Design Concept
Aranya Low-Cost Housing, each core house comprises a plinth and service spaces (bath and
kitchen). In the project, the architect utilized the core housing concept to create affordable
housing for low-income families in the region. As a result, the inclusion of core housing, user
participation took place. The architect prepared different housing options concerning single
houses and diversified incremental growth scenarios and flexible layouts. Even two samples
belonging to the same housing option could be varied and customized differently by users.
However, in Aranya Low-Cost Housing, user participation helped to accomplish greater
typological variety.
• Vitality - development to support socio-economic aspirations of the community.
• Imageability - built-form to impart identity and inculcate a sense of belonging
amongst the inhabitants.
• Equity - to create an equitable balanced community with a satisfactory level of
environmental qualities and opportunities for all.
• Efficiency - to realize development that optimizes natural, material, and human
resources to the user group's advantage.
• Flexibility - to evolve a framework that absorbs the progressive change and
growth as a part of the natural development process.
• Feasibility - to ensure development within the given legal, fiscal, and
organizational milieu

Conclusion
At Aranya, they built only a small sample of 80 model homes in 1989, load bearing brick on
a concrete plinth with walls plastered and painted, to initiate the development. The architect
drew only a set of ingredients to be appropriated, giving residents the language and space to
'upgrade their life.' Growth is planned but informal, confined by the masterplan's hierarchy
of built form and open spaces, and held together by a lattice of infrastructural lines. The
building and strengthening of ties between social activities. And also physical structures
translate into specific architectural elements: the underlying plinth onto added steps and
ledges, shared landings, tiny balconies, and open terraces. Here the idea is that every space
gets used; staircases are not just for going up and down but also an interaction spot. Public
life is allowed to seep into, encompass and infuse living spaces.
The building height to street width ratio is such that streets are shaded except when the sun
is overhead. The courtyards within the houses, public squares and small activity areas are
shaded adequately by adjacent buildings. Back in 1989, each plot was provided with a water
tank, sewerage connection, paved access with street lights, and stormwater drainage. For
landscaping the area, trees that require little maintenance were planted including casuarinas,
bottle brush and eucalyptus.
5.4 Precedent Study 3 : Quinta Monroy Housing
The Elemental project in Quinta Monroy was developed in the northern city of Iquique. The
objective was to upgrade one of the last informal settlements located in the heart of the city.
The settlement emerged in the 1960s mainly by migrants that occupied the land. The
population gradually increased from 50 original families to 100 families in 2003.
Quinta Monroy is a complex of 93 housing units organized in four courtyards aiming to
promote community interaction and keep previous neighbors' affinities (Figures 1 and 2).
I I
The housing units are modular, each module is 3x6m. There are two housing typologies. On
the ground floor, 34 housing units of typology 1, each of them occupies three modules (54
sqm), two built and one to be completed.
Typologies
The lower units have a backyard of 27sqm that according to Elemental's expectations could
be occupied up to 60% to achieve a total area for an extended house of 70sqm. Typology 2
(59 units) are duplex units built on top of units of typology 1. In the land occupied by one
unit of typology 1, 1.5 units were built upstairs. Each duplex unit has two modules built (36
sqm) and two more modules to be extended to obtain a complete house of 72sqm . Thus,
Elemental claimed that they optimized the land by building 2.5 houses in 54sqm.

Design Concept
The Quinta Monroy project was designed to find a balance between top-down planning
approaches, and the bottom-up transformation of the houses by their inhabitants over time
(de Chile & Verona, 2006). The long-term progressive development of the settlement and
houses reveals the residents' active involvement in the production of their own houses. Most
of the households built additional spaces beyond those predicted by the designers at
Elemental. Evidence shows the process of incremental housing construction has impacted
upon the residents' interaction as a community. However, neighbors' communication
remained at a reduced scale among contiguous neighbors which facilitated the construction
of housing extensions that involve multiple households. Although these issues might not be
exclusive of Elemental's housing projects
