MOVEMENT PLAN 1

Paved pathway sheltered by trees provides a pleasant walkway to just stroll through the market. This could be the movement of the nearby residents or of the stranger as open-air pathway gives a relaxed movement through the market.

MOVEMENT PLAN 2

This would be the movement of the shopper who frequently visits to this market. Since this market offer fashionable clothes at very affordable price, frequent shoppers would visit only the export market with this movement plan.

FAÇADE ANALYSIS Façade has no highlighting feature. The elevation is linear and has no prevalent form

NOLLY’S PLAN SPATIAL ANALYSIS

The spatial arrangement of Sarojini Nagar clearly defines the pedestrian movement. The relation between open space and built form is highly evident in it’s layout. Width of path is 7 m while the length of park is 100 m which is very odd. To compensate this setting, rows of trees have been planted to brake this wide distance.
