Dimensions That Sell

The teen Darwaja or “the THREE Gates”, is the source to a very crowded, active, dense, market place of Ahemdabad. It opens up to a huge arcade of shops and sub streets of shops selling a huge variety of items that a person would seek. The shops are lined up on both sides of the road and act as magnets to enthusiastic shoppers. In some areas it opens up into a maze of more shops where people can easily get lost into. I have been there a couple of times to get materials for my projects at a cheaper rate as compared to the shops in other places of Ahmedabad. There is something there that keeps on changing but on the whole it has been the same since the last 100 – 150 years. Is it because of the changing of the shop owners, or the customers or the types of items that are being sold or is it the changing dimensions of each shop or the increasing number of shops to accommodate the necessities of today’s contemporary and globalized world or is it entirely something that is beyond measurable.
