1 DILLI HAAT
Dilli Haat has been planned as a democratic space in the city. Public space is integrated with a backdrop of a food and craft market to create an ambience reminiscent of traditional Indian bazaars. This is an egalitarian space where people from all sections of the society come to buy crafts, to eat, to relax and to engage in diverse social interaction. Unlike the traditional weekly market, the village Haat, Dilli Haat is permanent. Some shops are permanent but other sellers are rotated, usually for fifteen days. Products offered may include rosewood and sandalwood carvings, embellished camel hide footwear, sophisticated fabric and drapery, gems, beads, brassware, metal crafts, and silk and wool fabrics. Shows promoting handicrafts and handlooms are held at the exhibition hall in the complex. To sell wares, there is an application process and spaces are allocated according to which state the seller is from. On festive occasions activities like mehandi, friendship band making, calligraphy, name writing on rice grain etc also take place.
1.1 PURPOSE OF CASE STUDY

To study the various permanent structures, temporary structures, display systems of shops and the activities associated with each area.
1.2 AREA DISTRIBUTION

Dilli Haat covers an area of 2.4 hectares (6 acres) of land. The site was reclaimed by covering a storm water drain with slab. The entire area has been divided into several spaces, they are administrative offices, shopping street, food courts, meeting hall, public toilets, drinking water area, and amphitheater respectively. The buildings, constructed in exposed brick and stone, with shady verandahs have been inspired by the vernacular architecture of the region (Refer Plate 1).

1.3 CIRCULATION
The circulation space of Dilli Haat is mainly linear with few diversions from the main street. The entrance plaza leads to the arrival area which consists of the souvenir shops and craft shops. The arrival plaza further leads to the main shopping street which has the covered shops, semi covered shops, open shops/ kiosks and the public toilets. This in turn leads to the food courts and ends at the amphitheater which is the termination point of Dilli Haat (Refer Plate 2).

1.4 SPATIAL ELEMENTS

1.4.1 Built Spaces The built space include the permanent shops, administrative office, meeting hall, food courts and some of the permanent seating structures that have been made around the food courts. The permanent shops are exposed brick structures which have roofs made from tukdi slab (Refer Plate 3, Figure 1). The walls of these shops are white from inside while all the display shelves are wooden covered with glass to create an ethnic as well as modern look. Recessed ceiling lights have been used with 42 fans and air conditioning. False ceiling has been made on the sides with wooden beams. For the floor, off-white colored tiles 2x2 have been used. The meeting hall and the administrative office are also exposed brick structures so as to maintain uniformity in the entire area while the food courts have mosaic work on their external facade to create an interesting look and at the same time break the monotony. The Permanent shops are constructed with exposed brick and stone having vaulted roofs and their flooring is done with brick tiles. The ceiling is made with tukdi slab which have four beams each. The permanent size of the shops is 8x10x12. All the permanent shops have shelves for displaying their materials. One of the shelves measures 6x2 which was adequate for display while the other shelf on the side measured 5x8 which was in adequate for display. All the shops are white in color from inside while they give an ethnic look from the outside. Each of the shops has tube lights and CFLs and they also have one ceiling fan each.

The Tiger Machan camp makes use of tensile structures which are erected on a concrete platform 4 high on a steel frame having all the modern facilities (Refer Plate 3, Figure 1 & 2). The framing of the tents is done with iron pipes which are joined to each other using Tjoints. The diameter of the poles used for these tents is 2. These poles are then anchored into the concrete platform Polyester canvas which is water proof is used to cover these frames. Three layers of different types of cloth are used for the top covering of the tensile structure. The top most layer is made of water proof polyester canvas, the middle layer is made of the cloth called latha which is a strong fabric and is also used for making the covers of quilts. The third or the bottom most layer is called the sheeting which is a cotton fabric on which the printing of designs is done for the tent. The upper part of the frame of the tent is fixed between the top most layer of canvas and the bottom most layer of sheeting so that it is not visible. After the entire tent structure is made it is given extra support with thick cotton ropes on the sides so that is remains firm and tight. The essentially required furniture like bed, table, chair, and an open cupboard are provided within the tents and the floors of the tents are carpeted (Refer Plate 3, Figure 4, 5 & 6).
