The challenge for this mixed-use development was to create a landmark destination and genuine public space in a city that is devoid of any and provide a pleasurable outdoor experience in what is typically a harsh desert-like climate in Northern India. The centerpiece of this development is an outdoor shopping street that is visually and spatially unlike any retail development.

Our inspiration for the space is based on the Indian bazaar that is experientially rich, nonhierarchical, and full of life. The loose stacking and shifting of boxes results in a dynamic aggregation of boxes. Whether from the south front or from the office tower down, the experience of the external architecture will be dynamic and ever-changing.

The shifting and overlapping also creates a variety of large and intimate spaces. The outdoor terraces created by the shifting are linked throughout by stairs and bridges form a continuous pedestrian experience not unlike taking a stroll up a medieval castle or hike up a rock formation. The varied orientation also allows for increased visibility of the storefronts. Lastly, the cantilevering of the boxes provide essential sun-shading. Canopies, landscapes, and misters allows creation of micro-climate that further lowers the outdoor temperature at the critical times to enable an outdoor experience during the day and night.

Connecting to this retail mass is a 30-story tower that is itself an aggregation of boxes. In the case of the tower, the various blocks are representative of the different programs: retail, office space, hospitality and residential spaces. Combined with the podium, the development has all the key components of a self-sustaining community, combining residential, commercial, services, shopping and entertainment.

这个综合发展项目所面临的挑战在于需要在一个完全没有任何地标和真正公共空间的城市之中,创造具有如此代表性的建筑物和空间,让人们可以在印度北部典型的恶劣沙漠环境里,享受愉快的户外体验。项目的主要特色,是一条无论是在视觉和空间上都与其他零售项目截然不同的户外购物街。

我们期望打造出来的空间犹如印度的市集,不但能够提供丰富的体验,而且不受阶级影响,充满生机。通过随意重叠和推移箱形的建筑形态,我们得出一堆充满动感、相互交集的“箱子”。无论是从南方的正面或办公大楼往下进入户外的空间,都可获得活力充沛、变化不断的建筑体验。

在箱形的建筑形态变换交叠之下,产生了一系列舒适怡人的大型空间,包括多个户外平台。通过利用楼梯和桥梁连接所有户外平台,我们创造出连续不断的步行体验,让人仿如漫步于中世纪的城堡之中,或徒步攀登岩层之上。此外,不同的朝向让店面的可见度更高。最重要的是,由悬臂支撑的“箱子”造就了必要的遮阳效果。为了促进全天候的户外体验,檐篷、景观和喷雾降温系统共同创造了微气候环境,在特别炎热的时刻进一步降低室外温度。

与零售地带相连的30层大楼也是“箱子”的聚合体,各量体代表着不同的用途,例如零售、办公室、酒店和住宅空间。加入裙楼后,整个项目囊括自给自足的社区所需要的一切关键组件,集住宅、商业、服务、购物和娱乐功能于一身。
