Architecture students travel to India to to work with Delhi School of Planning and Architecture to create urban design proposals for the Old Walled City of Delhi
On Dec. 17, first year Master of Architecture students from professor Shannon Bassett’s Graduate Architecture Studio class presented their architecture and urban design proposals for the Old Walled City of Delhi at Laurentian University’s McEwen School of Architecture, the result of their travels to India from Oct. 7 through Oct. 22.
While there, the team was primarily based in New Delhi but also travelled to other key cities in India as examples in best-case practices in Sustainable Architecture and Urban Design. “Through action-oriented design research, this grant helps us to address issues being faced by Shahjahanabad, the Old Walled City of Delhi, which faces architectural decay and degradation, in addition to the ecological fragmentation of a once ecologically resilient urban fabric and cultural landscape, with its innovative and sustainable interconnected public space systems,” said Bassett.
“Through various scales of groundwork and field research, we have been able to organize creative interventions that are meant to aid or improve on the existing and historical structure of Old Delhi within its urban context,” said Sawant. “The trip itself deeply aided in the design process, prompting us to think about the larger and deeply cultural context of architecture within an international milieu.
