MAYAPUR MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL

PREVIOUS MASTER PLAN ANALYSIS

Many studies were done which can be successfully implemented in the

new Master Plan(in particular inside the core area).


After identifying these four major elements of the previous Master

Plan we implemented them in our proposal.


PROPOSAL

PROPOSAL

STEP 1 LANDMARKS

TOVP

Is the temple of

the Lord; it should be the focal

point of the whole city.

TOVP Axis

This axis is oriented

north-south.

SamadhiSrila

Prabhupada is our

Founder- Acarya and his Samadhi

is a very important landmark.

Samadhi

AxisThis axis is

oriented east-west.

Both Axes

Intersection of these two

axes determines the Temple

Square from which you access the Temple and Samadhi.

Caitanya

AvenueIs directed

towards the TOVP along the north-south axis.

Caitanya Avenue

Prabhupada

AvenueIs developed

along the east-west

axis.

PROPOSAL

STEP 2 CITY GRID

TOVP orientati

onThe TOVP is rotated 11.3 degrees from the east-west direction. It is acceptable according to

the Vastu rules.

GridModul

eThe MODULES of

the grid (PADAS) are determined by the size

of the temple

footprint which is 170

m wide.

Module Reproduct

ionThe

multiplication of the module

determines the city grid.

City GridCity grid

determines orientation and size of

the city blocks.

PROPOSAL

STEP 3 TEMPLE PARK

TEMPLE PARK

A big size park connected with the temple is needed:

• To accommodate large number of people visiting the temple;• To provide un-obstructed flow of the visitors;• To accommodate Theme Parks (saving space);• To provide enough space for different festivals and activities• Will give enough open space for proper appreciation of the Temple.

Proposed Park size is the same as in the previous Master Plan.

Park and Grid

The grid and the park.

Park Design

Two water canals

continues the direction of the axes

and is resolved in

sub-modules.

Pond & Stadiu

mWe allocate a pond in the

north-east side of the park, according to

Vastu directives, and a big Sankirtan

Stadium.

Park Functiona

lityDivided in the Theme Parks on the right

and an appreciation space with

gardens around the

TOVP.

THEME PARK: Getting to the temple through Krishna’s pastimesThe reach of the temple through Prabhupada Avenue will give the opportunity to witness the exhibitions of different dioramas depicting the pastimes of Lord Sri Krishna.

ADVANTAGES OF THE CITY GRID

THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE GRIDA grid made out of squares allows us interact the modules with each other and do different operations:


ADDITIONof Modules in a Grid



SUBDIVISIONSof Modules in a Grid



INTERACTIONof Modules in a Grid

The use of a grid has advantages, such as:• Provides flexibility for Mayapur development;• Helps to develop the city in an organized/predicted

manner;• Assists pedestrian movement;• Geometry helps with orientation and wayfinding;• Maximizes the use of the land in blocks.
