Open space system The recreational area constitutes about 17% of the total sub-city area. In dwarka , recreational open spaces are planned as an informal park alon the Najafgarh Nallah. The syste, of open spaces penetrating the built for is in the form of spurs of the regional park itself, this establishing a continuous syste of the greens. The proposed landscape comprises two interlinked but hierarchically distinct components: 1. The informal naturalistic components on the north-south axis, developmed along najafgarh nallah, serving a regional recreation function. 2. The more formal and organize component serving as the local open spaces system on the east- west drainage corridors. 3. The third level of open spaces are those within sectors and neighbourhods, consisting of the neighbourhood park and linear link spaces between them 4. As [resent dwarka consists of 20 large parks and 100 small parks and a golf course. Demography Location and connectivity The sub-city is located on South- West Delhi in the vicinity of Gurgaon and International Airport.

New Delhi: Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is planning to construct a new cultural centre, similar to India Habitat Centre (IHC) and India International Centre (IIC), in Sector 11 of Dwarka. To be called Indraprastha Sanskritik Kala Kendra. With an area of 10 Acres at Sector 11, adjacent to the existing Sports Complex, the centre would have five blocks namely, Centre for visual art, Administration and Library block, Centre for Performing Art and Recreational Area, Convention centre, Residential area. The proposed centres would be centres of excellence for promotion of various visual arts such as painting, sculpture and ceramics with provision for galleries on contemporary art and tribal art and performing arts like music, dance and theatre. Each centre will have a specialized role in promoting and training people in visual and performing arts. Some centres may also provide training in culinary arts and it will also include a recreational area with a specialty restaurant and bar, spas, aerobic hall and gym. According to DDA, there is a provision of a library, a residential block and a convention centre block, which will have an auditorium, rehearsal room, cinematography room, recording room, seminar rooms, conference halls, exhibition space, a contemporary art gallery, sculpture gallery, Workshop area and Ancillary areas etc. Hoping special features like the spa, aerobic hall, and audio-visual library will appeal to people. Space will be allocated for open air theatres, water bodies, lawns etc. Adequate parking space will be provided at the centre. SITE JUSTIFICATION The city of Delhi, a city which has immense cultural heritage survived through a strong social cohesiveness historically. Somehow, through the development process from 1961 to 2013 through three master plans it has been concluded that the plan formulation has not thought of using socio cultural infrastructure as a lever of urban development, whereas in many of the cities elsewhere such facilities / sector has received much more attention. This has been reflected in the city of Delhi today, wherein there is no place perhaps comparable to the Mandi House, which was developed immediately before and after independence and remains a focus of cultural activity even today. Such socio cultural centre needs to be provided for every 5.0 lac population in the city of Delhi which is the threshold limit of a district center. Dwarka, an upcoming well planned sub-city has proposed to develop such a socio-

cultural centre in sector 11 and roughly measures 25 ACRES by the Delhi Development Authority .It is surrounding by Master plan green and sports complex on other two sides. It is also located near to IGI Airport. Being its proximity to Indira Gandhi International airport and location in planned dwarka sub city, it has lot to offer to people residing there and coming from abroad .The design of centre can be very strong landmark and design the image map of dwarka .it can push the boundaries of creativity since in that area architectural vocabulary itself is very modernized and gives appeal of contemporary India. Moreover unlike noida with caparo-ayatti Delhi does not have contemporary international socio-cultural centre other than IIC and IHC which are in New Delhi, with growing needs more such platforms are needed to cater growing needs. Dwarka is expected to be connected to Gurgram by metro in the near future due to its close proximity to the NCR town. Thus there is a strong need of a socio-cultural centre for Dwarka.

NEED OF STUDY City of Delhi attracts thousands of tourists every year from all over the world because of the heritage status. So there is an urgent requirement of the cultural centre in the city which could depict the mythology and the rich culture heritage of the city and India for which it is famous for. The proposed centers would be centers of excellence for promotion of various visual arts such as painting, sculpture and ceramics and performing arts like music, dance and theatre. Each centre will have a specialized role in promoting and training people in visual and provide training in culinary arts. The aim is to design a space to provide opportunities by which people from different parts of India get to know more about each other’s tradition and cultural heritage and thereby help in promoting mutual understanding and national integration. The space would amalgamate all cultural activities under one roof. AIM OF STUDY Aim is to design the cultural centre. To design a contemporary socio-cultural centre with an Indian appeal and which can be related by Indians as well as people coming from abroad. Creating a strong “sense” for that area (dwarka -sub city). Centre will be disabled friendly. OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
To create a place for Social and Public gathering. To design a centre which meets international standards with state of art acoustics, lightening, connectivity and ergonomic seating. To create a venue for exhibition and cultural interactions. To create interactive spaces and landscaping to generate public interest. To explore how it proves beneficial for urban growth and MICE tourism.
SCOPE AMD LIMITATION OF STUDY
To evolve a design with forms and spaces with distinct architectural characteristics focusing on space utilization and functions. This project deals with the design which is well adoptable in terms of typology, function and climatic conditions. The project will be design oriented.

The thesis topic would help me explore the spaces required for artists and craftsmen to practice their crafts. It would help me understand the social and cultural setting of the region and explore the implementation of cultural context on building design. It would allow me greater freedom in form and spaces as many of the spaces to be designed would be of flexible nature. The design thesis would not go into too much of Landscape detailing.
