DESIGN CHALLENGE ON REJUVENATION OF UNUSED UNDER-BRIDGE SPACES ALONG/ON DWARKA EXPRESSWAY, GURUGRAM, HARYANA (INDIA)

As the urbanization and gentrification is increasing in the Millennial city of Gurugram, Haryana (India), the issue of decreasing in forest cover, lack of social interaction, urban heat island effect, urban flooding and lack of socio-cultural interaction is rising, which has further divided the city into more irreversible and unsustainable area.

On the other hand Dwarka Expressway is being constructed and developed as an iconic project to reduce and ease the commute between the two major areas of New Delhi and Gurugram and on the other hand the unused under-under bridge spaces creates an opportunity for the architects, designers & planners to design it into more sustainable way and resolve the issues of the city.

The Dwarka expressway somewhere is merging with junctions and at the junctions elevating above the ground creating a wavy pattern from one destination to other destination.

Hence, a team doesn’t need to stick to a place or exact shape, but considering the above mentioned issues and the surroundings, design the small left-over pocket under the bridges (imagine a site as per your convenience) or at least a stretch of 250 Meters under-bridge which shows how the spaces can become the part of the surroundings and promote the global sustainable goals.
