Event Description : Delhi Architecture Walk at Asiad Village & Shahpurjat
Delhi is home to several cities, not only the seven that history teaches us. These cities live like small cosmos within the larger ecosystem – only needing to get in touch with the outer world or rest of Delhi every now and then. Though transportation experts might disagree that if that was the case we will not have the traffic situation like we do, agreed! What most of these cities miss are work opportunities within them. A debate for while we walk.............
So join us as we take you through the neighborhoods of Asiad Village and Shahpurjat. Accessed by a common road and split by a constructed boundary – these neighborhoods exemplify the contrast of Delhi. Asiad Village a planned development designed by Raj Rewal for the Asian Games in 1984; perhaps one of the finest examples of group housing till date that has had no severe changes to its built form since occupation. While Shahpurjat, declared an urban village in 1957 on the other side has very little of its original built form remaining. The dominant community, the Jats have been the key residents of this village for 700 years now; however today the village today is undergoing major gentrification and lending itself as a home to several artists, designers and cafés. With the backdrop or rather a front curtain of the ruins of Alauddin Khilji’s medieval Siri City (1290-1320) this splice of the city offers an eclectic mix of urban environment with several hidden gems. So join us as we lead you through this exploration!
