    This document discusses several housing projects in India designed by architects Charles Correa and Raj Rewal. It focuses on Raj Rewal's Asian Games Village project from 1980-1982, which consisted of 500 multi-family housing units on a 35-acre site in New Delhi. The concept was based on a sequence of open spaces interconnected by narrow, shaded pedestrian streets and incorporated recreational and communal areas. It was designed to resemble a traditional village, with cubic solids and voids characteristic of cities like Jaisalmer and Old Delhi. Entrance gateways with linked upper terraces punctuated the sequence of courtyards and garden spaces.

    Location : New Delhi
    Building type : Multi family housing
    Area :35 acre for 500 housing

    The concept is based on a


    sequence of open spaces,
    interlinked with narrow
    pedestrian streets shaded
    and kept alive through a
    careful mix with recreational
    and communal area.

    Its morphology resembles a


    traditional village, with
    cubic solids and voids that
    are characteristic of the
    Indian urban fabric
    (compare with cities such
    as Jaisalmer Old Delhi).

    For athletes visiting


    the capital, largescale temporary
    housing was
    required.

    Its morphology
    resembles a
    traditional village.

    The aim was to create an urban pattern of


    low rise high density based on a sequence
    of open spaces linked by shaded
    pedestrian pathways.

    Entrance gateways with


    linked upper terraces
    punctuate the sequence

    The concept is based on a sequence


    of open spaces, interlinked with
    narrow pedestrian streets shaded
    and kept alive through a careful mix
    with recreational and communal
    area.

    The streets are


    consciously broken up
    into visually
    comprehensible units,
    often with gateways,
    so there are pauses,
    point of rest and
    changing vistas.

    Entrance gate ways with


    linked upper terraces
    punctuate the sequence of
    courtyard and green space

    The central spine of the layout is reserved for


    pedestrian courts and streets of various
    clusters.

    They offer shade and yet


    remain vitally alive to the
    pressures and pleasures of
    the people who live there.

    HOUSING :
    The housing itself involves an
    aesthetic and volumetric play
    through the use of many terraces, with
    the floors decreasing in size as the
    building goes up.

    The tendency of the


    residents to consider the
    fronts of their houses
    to be facing the
    parking area and the
    back to be facing the
    chowks results in the
    scheme not having the
    same set of public and
    semi public spaces and
    thus the territorial controls
    of the original type.
