 The core idea for the project would be based on
‘music’ (as per designers’ statement) – ‘haat beat:
Under
“haat” is synonymous with the quintessential ground
parking
organic character of Indian bazaars and “beat” is a
reference to rhythm, an intrinsic component of
music

 CIRCULATION
• From the entrance to the end of the complex , the circulation is
entirely pedestrian.
• By the use of ramps and steps , lots of levels have been created to
define buildings more distinctly.
• Circulation in front of shops is through a verandah covered arcade
1.5 m wide.
• The spaces also get varied character because
the plaza changes character from a large
entrance plaza to an oblong open space.

BUILD – OPEN SPACE RELATION

•The entire haat is made in such a way that all the spaces
intermingle with each other also having easy connectivity.
•Built up is 65% of the total area.
built up area- 16000 sq. m total area is 24300 sq.m
•After every queue of stalls there is a courtyard providing an
open space.
•The food zones that flank as networks on both sides of the
spine after the round about has a medium level of visual
connectivity and integration and open space.
• An Amphitheatre having 820
seats Capacity is another
special feature At the haat
which not only encourages
art and culture but is one stop
destination for various cultural
events.
• Designed as a series of seating
steps finished in stone, grass
and shrub beds, it is an anchor of the whole composition, marking the
transition from formal to the informal zone on the south-eastern
corner.
•A large exposition hall spreading
over 960 sq. m with
three linear vaults of ascending
widths in plan, an auditorium
and a banquet hall, both with
separate entrances, and
air-conditioned shops arranged
along a curvilinear circulation,
form the front formal zone.
• A large usable green roof
flowing above the composition – with multiple connections to the lower
movement pattern – symbolises the aspirations of the times.
A state of the art auditorium with 800
seating capacity also forms an amphitheatr
on top that can hold an audience of 820
people. The green and paved amphitheatre
instantly reduces the huge mass of the
auditorium and at the same time helps
retain the green cover, helping in heat
control.
The four 8 m high towers are
interspersed along the site. Designed to
look like huge bamboo baskets inspired
by Parc de la Villette in Paris , they are
two storied buildings with a roof top
canopy designed for outdoor activities.
Closer to the entry, one basket houses
the information centre, while the other
forms a café. Wander more into the
interiors of the site and the baskets
house a music centre and a museum.
•The music centre not only avails
sale of all genres of rare classics,
musical instruments, but provide
sample outdoor space and a
small amphitheatre to take care
of interactive functions.
•The one material that is being
celebrated with its extensive usage is bamboo; Structures for shading,
screens for baskets and food court, sculptures for street furniture on one
side and the natural growing ones as soft-scapes of boundary plantations
and accent trees on the other.
•The informal zone ( craft shops)
is composed of an organic layout
of craft Shops , with each
designed as a modern tent
‘evocation of the tents of
bedouins’, say the designer.
• Clad with delhi quartzite stone,
The circular lockable structure
Has a conopy of translucent
tensile membrane, allowing air
Circulation as well as a shade against harsh sun.
• The progression of the movement has a variety of spatial forms – a
wide entrance piazza , finished with neat rows of Agra sandstone and
cobbles, a central courtyard , paved with Agra sandstone , opening up
into an enclosure created by build forms along the exposition hall,
and circulation along the craft shops meandering through the streets
,giving an intimate character to the shopping experience.
