Masterplanning

The masterplan will become oneof the most desirable areas to liveand work and become a majorpublic amenity for the entire district.It will inevitably be the catalystfor a process of change that will

positively transform the districtover time and the Masterplan seeksto allow this process to take place.

TFP Farrells design approachfocuses on the retention of the urbanhistorical development. The masterplan acknowledges the diverse areasaround its perimeter by providing aseries of nodes along its length. Thesenodes respond to the existing areaswhich they bound onto.

Site as Linear Connector

Site to Link Neighbourhoods

Site as Attractor

One of the most pleasant aspects ofNew Delhi is its lush greenery; this isin sharp contrast to the narrow andcongested alleys of the walled city andits extension. The masterplan createsa great urban park at the heart of Delhi

to sensitively integrate the organicunplanned areas of the walled cityand its extension. A series of parks,gardens and open urban plazas whichform a green lung reaching the entirelength of the site, extend the green ofthe Lutyens Masterplan further northto provide a link to the lush forest andparkland at Kamlu Nehru Ridge.

Masterplan Zoning Strategy

The masterplan organizationacknowledges and reinforces theexisting urban characters at the eastand west sides.

Essentially the eastern side of the

masterplan is a global connectorwith direct connection to theelevated expressway as well as withconnections to the Airport Rail, Metroand proposed monorail. It primarilyrelates to railway and transportationfacilities.

COMMERCIAL TRANSPORT

GreenSpace

Connectivity

Property / Landuse

The western side of the masterplanenhances existing trading andcommercial activities of localneighbourhoods. Extending north fromConnaught Place, the commercialheart of Delhi, Chelmsford Road and

its extension on Qutub Road arefaced by new commercial and retaildevelopment which will have theeffect of regenerating the immediateneighbourhoods.

Masterplan Phasing Strategy

CURRENT WORK COMP

Station phasing is critical forredeveloping New Delhi station whileit is in operation. The first half of thestation building to be built will be thePaharganj side. It is envisaged thatcurrent and soon to be completed

transport and station facilities on the

eastern Ajmeri Gate side have spacecapacity and will be able to cope withdemand until the start of the secondphase. There is also a financialbenefit for the western commercialdevelopment to be completed earlier.

Yard Operation

Tying in with Station Modernization,

certain improvements to Railway Yard

already commenced by Northern Rail,

a complete Yard modernization is

envisaged.

The original conceptual plan for the

station envisaged that of the proposed

18 no. platforms. 12 no. platforms

accommodated passing movements

and 6 no.platforms acted as a terminal

station for trains movements to/from

the Tilak Bridge side of the station.

Provision of Washing and Stabling

lines, coach and loco maintenance

sheds and sick lines with dedicated

and centralized modern facilities on

ballastless track.

Conversion of current passing lines

through stabling area by rationalizing

train movements to avoid future trains

running through the stabling and

washing area to provide more stabling

lines and simplify shunting.

Currently the parcels are deliveredto the platforms across the tracks several handling areas

Modern centralized parcel facility hbeen incorporated into the baseme

with direct below ground connectivto the platform ends, via undergropassageways and cargo lifts.

Station Configuration Options

- Provide primary elevated dropoff adjacent to departure hall at Ajmeri Gate side,and provide secondary dropoff at Paharganj side.

- Provide transport interchange at Ajmeri Gate side,and secondary transport interchange at Paharganj side.

- Existing Desh Bandhu Gupta bridge to be retaineddue to construction programme.

- Centralized parcelling within central building is preferred

- Provide dedicated waiting rooms for different class ticket holders,i.e. special waiting rooms, reserved and unreserved

- Platforms required to be rebuilt to provide ballastless tracks.

- Platforms should be of uniform length (620m) straight and parallel.

- Provide basement for arriving passengers.- Provide direct connectivity for commuter rail passengers underground.

- Minimize interface with metro tunnel.

- Provide evenly distributed vertical circulation nodes- Direct connection to the metro system is preferred.

Cultural References makethe Design

As a symbol of nationalachievement, the station designhas a strong cultural reference andidentity, while having a futuristicexpression of modern railwaystation.

The station roof is inspired by anexpression redolent of the eyepattern on a Peacocks tail (thePeacock being the national bird ofIndia), which also functions as windscoop and provides natural lightdown to the platforms. The stationmain entrance hall is essentially alight filled atrium running the entirelength of the eastern faade. Thedesign also echoes with the traditionalarchitectural patterns or the traditionalIndian motif of the lotus bud.

Symbiosis between Shoppingand Commuting

WEST - Commercial High-S

Clarity of movement and ease andconvenience of interchange withintermodal transport are paramountand have been fundamental indriving the plan and sectionorganisation. The station buildingitself has a primary address toAjmeri Gate with a more local facetowards Paharganj.

Following the redevelopmentmasterplan principle, the station hasa similar organizational principleinsofar as both the eastern sideand western sides are articulateddifferently in functional and formalterms. Essentially the western sideof the development is given over tocommercial facilities; and the easternside is transport related with a strong,unique presence for the station, whichis articulated by a grand entrancehall running the length of the station.

Green DesignNatural Ventilation

In order to provide a sufficient area ofwaiting room for the required numberof passengers a very large concourseand lounge area is required.In the context of Indias power gridresources providing a comfortable

ambient environment for the stationusers has to be achieved with allpossible means of minimum energyuse and relatively low cooling loads.

Therefore the concept aims to makeuse of naturally available means ofclimate control and ventilation byshaping roof and support columns ina way that these would act a naturalwind scoops working on physicalprinciple of suction and a stack effectto allow hot air from higher levelsof station building volume to leavebuilding.

At the same time cooler air will streamfrom shaded areas into buildingeffectively creating an environmentwith temperatures well belowthose of the outside environment.External Shading to the station roof

is provided by Solar Panels that willsimultaneously generate energywhilst contributing to a cooler buildingenvelope.

To enhance this passive climatecontrol a relatively high sectionalbuilding volume is necessary to allowfor higher air temperatures at highnon inhabited areas of building thusproviding necessary temperaturedifferentials that are required toenhance air-flow similarly hot air at ahigh level will create a natural buffer tokeep cold air on a low inhabited level.

Green DesignNatural Lighting

In a climate of creating a natural andrelaxing ambience such as the waitingroom lounge of the station it is highlydesirable to provide natural daylightto the largest extent possible. Thiswill contribute to a better ambience of

the station as well as provide a vastopportunity to save energy and offer asafely lit environment without relyingon external energy sources.

It is aimed to allow light to penetratevertically into the building volume asdeep as possible all down to platformlevel.

Sunlight in New Delhi is available ata very high intensity and in order toconvert this into a convenient andcomfortable light level it is suggestedto utilize the hollow roof supportcolumns for a controlled filtering anddirecting of light onto these publiclyused areas.

Their structural steel constructioncombined with glazing and openingsalong its vertical elevation will createan image of columns of light holdingup the station roof. It is natural thatthese columns shall be utilized as

main locations for provision of artificiallight in hours of darkness.

A number of platforms are utilizedby commuter trains with no relatedwaiting rooms on separate level. It isenvisaged that these platforms areopen to the station roof via voids inwaiting room slab to ensure effectivelythe similar light quality on theseplatforms as in the waiting room hall.Effectively the natural station lightingvia the hollow columns follows the oldprinciple of a heliostat which offers acheap and efficient means of providinglighting to either horizontally orvertically deep buildings.
