Chhav seeks to provide a spatial solution for the people of Rajiv Nagar - an informal settlement around the Bhalswa Landfill - one of Delhi’s 3 major landfills. Understanding the context and community, the authors realise a lack of dignified open space for the community. Chhav realises ‘lost space’ in the settlement and attempts to activate it with an intervention designed around existing infrastructure.
