In rapidly urbanizing NCR, often the initial success of a project is dependent on its image – leading to the emergence of forms which try to break away from the ordinary and materials that try to stand apart from their surroundings. In the process, the casualty is often the programmatic and functional requirements and their true representation. Spectra breaks this impasse by generating a form that derives from the legal requirements of increasing setbacks with height resulting in a tapered form that is at once unique and reflective of its generating reality. Spectra will be an important social and leisure hub in the area with its retail, entertainment and hospitality facilities. A Mixed-use development located on the northern periphery of the New Delhi, near suburban NCR. Planned on an 8 acre site on the prime Gurgaon-Dwarka Expressway, the development is planned as a landmark development in Delhi’s upcoming urban community. The brief from the client was to create a landmark that would optimize the 1000 ft frontage on the expressway.
