The Clusters that are formed by Joiningseveral building units is derived from

Vernacular traditions of Indian Cities ofJaisalmer, Old Delhi.

The concept is based on a sequence ofopen spaces, interlinked with narrowpedestrian streets shaded and kept alive

through a careful mix with recreationaland communal area.

The streets are consciously broken up intovisually comprehensible units, often withgateways, so there are pauses, point ofrest and changing vistas.

The central spline of the layout is reserved for pedestrian courts and streets of various clusters.About eight percent of the houses and apartments have access from pedestrian enclosures aswell as parking squares.

A peripheral road leads to cul-de-sac parking areas.

FEATURES:RAJ REWAL IS INSPIRED BY THE VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE OF JODHPUR ANDJAISALMER WHICH VERY MUCH REFLECT IN HIS DESIGN CONCEPT OF ASIAD VILLAGE

Spacious terraces are the dominant feature

The creation of the traditional narrow street ,linking all the housing units, provides forintimate encounters between people and gives a sense of belonging to the neighborhoodsquare.

The human scale has been kept in mind while designing the spaces.

The narrow pedestrian street provides shade vernacular urban form.

The streets are consciously broken up into small units ,so there are pauses, resting points

and changing vistas.

The complex is based on an internal street pattern with interconnecting inner squares/chowks culminating in a central court that acts as a heart for the whole scheme.

Interview: Mr. Jogindar Singh He possesses a 3 BHK apartment, and is a resident of Asiad Village from 3 years.

I feel that the clusters are not inter-connected for vehicular movement and have zigzag paths.

There are no servants quarter and garages provided.

There are wide roads with ample of green spaces.There are backyards provided and the structure is very sound.
