Shahpur Jat - Visual Culture :
Being a prospective Interior and Architecture designer, We went to Shahpur Jat with the perspective that it would be very dynamic and a high class looking place. It was pretty shocking to see the exact opposite of what we had imagined it to be.
On the first day we went to Dada Jungi house, a place where maximum designers have their outlets. The interior of shops, cafes and restaurants were very elite and gave a pleasing look but if you would step outside in the lane, you will be disappointed. There was a sharp contrast between the interior and exterior of shops at Dada Jungi house.
The title - "design hub" does not support with the place. This place has its own quirks. It is a hub of all kinds of designers, from top brands to low brands, it has it all. Shopaholics might want to reside there.
But this place is not known to everyone specially because of its location. The first time when we went there we were kind of lost and didn't imagine that a poorly constructed one lane road would lead to it.
And the next hurdle you will find is the parking problem. There is suffcient parking available but during emergency cases, due to the narrow lanes, it would create a chaos. The place is very old and people living there have now endured to the problems and are carrying on with their daily chores.
