ANALYSIS
 South Delhi: Prime location
 The Saket district centre provides large public and landscaped open spaces. The public realm has being given a
t ought!
h
 Instead of having shopping malls stand as isolated entities – disjoint from one another – the development at Saket is
planned in a manner where the multiple buildings are tied together with a common colonnade and uninterrupted access

a d transition, making it vibrant, dynamic and friendly.

n
 Saket Place is projected to employ close to 30,000 people, and attract about 1,00,000 cars in the vicinity every hour

 A district centre goes dead after work-hours – Saket district center devoid of this scenario.

 Too much of rigidity imparted on the developer in terms of the design of buildings and
elevation kills the creativity of the architect involved.

 Saket District centre may be ready to take the huge volume of traffic, but the surrounding
transportation arteries are still not!
