The Rajpath is one of the most important vistas in India. Over 100 years later, this hexagonal urban framework remains virtually unchanged. Our philosophy responds to the country’s vision for a new, modern India whilst respecting the urban fabric of New Delhi. Inspired by the Indian architectural history, we have re-imagined the Rajpath by improving on what has come before and reconnecting it with the people.
We envision extending the masterplan down to the banks of the Yamuna; reconnecting the Rajpath with nature and creating a vista that runs from the river in the east to the ridge in the west. We then evolve the existing typology by creating a new hierarchy of streets and spaces. At the human scale, this creates a new activated and vibrant ground plane.
New Delhi was created as a garden city, and we seek to continue this legacy by ensuring that the natural and built environments blend seamlessly with one another.
