Connaught Place: Projects, Journals & Ideas

About Discussions Projects7 Journals10 Competitions1

Connaught Place is New Delhi's most recognizable commercial and public space, defined by its concentric circular geometry and colonial-era architecture. The district functions as a major transit hub and cultural landmark while facing pressures from congestion, aging infrastructure, and evolving urban needs.

Community members explore pedestrian-focused redesigns, adaptive reuse strategies, and placemaking approaches that balance heritage preservation with contemporary urban functions. Projects examine memory, cultural identity, and temporal layers while proposing frameworks for transforming the colonial core into a more accessible and multifunctional public realm.

As William Whyte says "What attracts people most, it would appear, is the people" and for that the space must be inclusive for all in true sense. The proposal attempts to preserve and enhance the existing value that CP is producing towards inclusivity as a Public Space.

Tabula Rasa

Today, lingering nostalgia must not prevent Delhi from progressing. Rather than focusing on micro-rewrites that would only attempt to alleviate Connaught Place?s urban issues, the proposal creates a mega-rewrite. Micro-rewrites would only operate as handiwork. Through this mega-rewrite, Connaught Place will be demolished and rebuilt: a TABULA RASA.

The Park Collective

The Central Park of Connaught Place is important as a social and political gathering space, as a transit node, for cultural events and festivals. The Neo-Delhi of tomorrow focuses on the park and to re-imagine the concept of the park in the context of Connaught Place.The idea of the park is broken down and redefined with a particular nature and a purpose.

New Delhi_ Boundless Sprawl

In the growing city of New Delhi, Connaught Place is one of the main identity of the city. To make it a better place, we propose architectural, urban solutions to the problems that it carries, such as lack of walkability and traffic. With commercial, cultural, religious, political and inclusive aspects in mind, new programs are introduced in to the site.
