Hudco Bazaar
New Delhi, India
  
The architecture of the HUDCO Bazaar tries to mediate the scale and activity between Bhikaji Cama Place and Mohamadpur Village. While the side facing the Bhikaji Cama Place contains large shops and offices in three storied stepped buildings, the building edge joining Mohamadpur Village with its lower height and shaded pergola areas for informal and other service activities, is more sensitive to the character of the village.
The proposed development has a basement and four floors above it. The basement goes down to a level of only -1.5m and provides parking space for 236 cars. The ground floor development is largely on a podium
at a level of +1.5m. At ground level, the major requirements are distributed around two main squares, one at the eastern end towards Africa Avenue and the other at the western end of the development. The two squares in turn are linked by a pedestrian mall that at the centre is developed on several levels from +1.5m to -1.5m and around major eating shops.
 
This central space will form the hub of activity and also be the main linkage to the development across the main Bhikaji Cama Bazaar. It is anticipated that the eating shops here will cater in a big way to the entire office crowd of the district centre.
