Some of its lesser known facts such as its ability to be regenerated in months, it having an incredibly strong foundation, making no fuss about its conditions and adapting easily, sucking up carbon-dioxide faster than any other tree and many more make it very beneficial to the worlds ecosystem, currently in dire straits.Breaking free from the conventional look and feel of its other two DilliHaat counterparts with their vocabulary of exposed brick and stone, DilliHaat-Janakpuri takes a fresh look at the material palette that paints the multi-faceted programme it houses. Along with a material spectrum which is an eclectic mix of modern and traditional, are interspersed four eight-metre high towers along the site. Designed to resemble huge bamboo baskets, the two-storied buildings with roof top canopies are planned for outdoor activities. Closer to the entry, one basket houses the information centre, while another forms into a café. Wander more into the interiors of the site and the baskets hold a music centre and a museum.Bamboo facades are designed as ‘non-facades’; they are narratives in themselves for they tell the story of what lies on the other side and much more! Apart from being celebrated in the facade, bamboo is used in structures for shading, screens for baskets and food courts and as sculptures or used for street furniture. Saluting the natural beauty of its forests, bamboo has been planted as a soft-scape plantation along the boundary and to accentuate other trees.

The elevation of a building or its façade is basically the frontal exterior view.

Balconies, overhangs, terraces, pergolas are some of the elements that add interest to the elevation.

Sometimes, elevation bands and fins are added to lend character to the façade.

Fins, being vertical strips, may also be placed at an angle such that they may partially cut off the glare and heat; without sacrificing natural light.

There are various types of elevation treatments.

Besides exterior paints, exposed brickwork is a commonly chosen façade treatment because of its low maintenance requirement.
