Sanjay Lake

A philosophy of creating memorable destinations, building on the role of Sanjay Lake as a PLACE dedicated to engaging the public in the development of a new cultural identity on the waterfront through artistic expression, in the process the aim is also to reconnect the city with its waterfronts.

A site of great economic, ecological, and cultural complexity, the waterfronts in our city can serve as a rich resource and can become potential site for art and cultural expression along with ecological areas reinstating the faith that we can still live in our cities in a healthy manner.

Sanjay Lake has the potential to become one of the finest and most lively contemporary green area in east Delhi. It will be designed as an interactive experience, one where you can touch, feel, and experience things personally. The park will have the elegance and expansiveness, generous spaces will draw people not only from surrounding neighbourhoods, but also from the entire city.

After detailed site studies, The Concept proposes a design and a program of a continuous line/ribbon signifying ‘movement’, punctuated with nodes or special program areas signifying ‘moments’. The nodes will be designed to become destinations for gatherings, play areas, environmental education hub, areas for art making, water activities like boating, fishing, water scooters etc.

The nodes can be designed as stepped seating’s, canopies, seat walls, game tables, play fields, artist huts/ platforms, viewing decks, fishing zones.

The movement line will be one that functions both as a cycle track and pedestrian pathway which will link these moment spaces providing outdoor amenities to a diverse group of users.
