A Dialogue with Past

1.1 Introduction Trade has been an important aspect in shaping the world as it is today. Not only the goods but various diseases and bacteria were also transferred through these routes.

Domestic animals such as horses and camels were significantly used for trade purposes, depending upon the terrain. The first routes were only based on the land, it was later when the sea routes emerged as the proficiency and ease of ships were available.

The Islamic reign was one of the most influential people that believed in moving and expanding their culture as well as their art.

Well on the move they built various structures that are still in good shape as well as the markets which now are one of the most visited markets in the world.

Taking various Cases of these markets based on Islamic, Indian, and American examples were compared on similar grounds to the city of ‘Agra’ which is one the oldest Mughal city and was very well known for its Architectural Marvel, trade, and handicrafts. These markets descend throughout the era and are currently thriving as well.

This thesis study looks upon the study of these initial trade routes and historical markets of the world, which compared to one of the most prominent cities of Mughal Empire ‘Agra’ Markets which are slowly losing their touch on the city, due to industrialization and sensitivity towards these markets.

However, the vision here was generating a “Dialogue With the Past”, not only through the built or suggesting the best possible intervention to protect these markets or uplifting the artisans and their culture but also through the intangibles that were observed in the Historical markets as well the local markets during the Thesis study.

To generate “Dialogue With the Past” the site was strategically chosen between Archeological monuments a land bandwidth that was generated due to change in course of the river Yamuna, near the archaeological sites.

A Dialogue with Past

1.2 Research Examining the initial query of the link of the past public spaces to the present, one can re-look at the markets of the world and its “Dialogue” with the past and present.

“A Dialogue with Past” for the city of Agra, is in terms of connection with monuments, tourists, markets and the locals.

Neglected for long period of time can be threating to the culture, thus the thesis focuses on the rectifying the current situation of the International monuments, Handicraft Market spaces and people associated with it.

1.3 Aim Increase in the Industries resulting in the Rivers Morphological change there is land band generation of opposite the Agra Fort.

The idea is to revive the area with best possible Environmental and Ecological intervention to avoid Commercial development near the Archaeological sites.

The intervention will lead to the overall development of the economy of the locals and enhance the values attached to the heritage of the city and its handicraft culture.

1.4 Objective The idea is to develop an tangible link for both locals as well as Tourists for the city’s values and culture will be established by a New Built Form.

The following pointers would be kept in mind before introducing an intervention.

1. The Idea is an attempt to abstract the Historical Handicraft markets of Agra and providing a global level platform that could create its stand at global level. It would not only enhance the skills but also give an economic boost to the industry.

2. Rejuvenating the River plains of Yamuna, opposite the Agra fort viewing the old Mughal Gardens and Taj Mahal will create a great Public realm with the river, along the development of the Historical stretch.

3. Rich Cultural and Heritage : Presence of the Mughal architecture since 16th century 4. The idea to cater International as well as National tourist keeping in mind “Indian Chaos” 5. Recreational area for locals in addition to the Archaeological Sites

Research Researching the markets of the world and their connection to the trade routes throughout the globe; emerged as small centers thereafter developed into trade centers carrying out businesses.

Further research and concluded that the prominent cities of the world also had these routes passing through them..

Idea Strategically choosing the city of Agra as it was and is a trade center and gave the idea of reviving and rehabilitating the markets of Agra on the land opposite to the Agra Fort.

Process After the research certain degree of inspiration was taken from the markets of the world.

This pattern of markets of Agra were abstracted in a way that it reflects the informal nature of markets of crafts.

Goal The goal is to retain the historical crafts of the city and uplift its economy on a global level.

2.1 Ancient Routes that shaped the World The Ancient routes where the beginning of shaping the world that it is today.

These routes passed to various cities, which later became the Trade Centers in ancient times and are still thriving as an important landmark in global trade.

The first and one of the most important route was the Silk route Route, which passed through India which started the initial trade through the country, during various empires that ruled India.

The Chinese sold silk teas, salt, sugar, porcelain, and spices.

They also brought back cotton, ivory, wool, gold, and silver.[1] Spice Route was ot to the Middle East with spices from Sri-Lanka & China.

Non-spice goods included ivory, silk, porcelain, metals and gemstones.[1] Frankincense & myrrh, collected in Ethiopia, Somalia, & southern Arabia & dispatched from Yemen & Oman, through the Negev desert, to the Mediterranean port in Gaza. [1]

Silk

Route 130 – 1453

The Silk route Passed through Delhi Mathura - Sarnath to reach the Eastern Coast for easy transportation. [3] And in today’s context these Cities are still very much in existence and still work as the key points for trade.

Grand Trunk Route

333 BC

The Grand Trunk Road formerly known as Sarak-e-Sher Shah is one of Asia’s oldest & longest major roads.[4] It runs roughly, 2,400 kms from Teknaf, Bangladesh on the border, west to Kabul, Afghanistan. [5] India it passes through Howrah, Kolkata, Durgapur, Purnea, Patna, Varanasi, Allahabad, Kanpur, Agra, Mathura, Aligarh, Delhi, Sonipat, Panipat, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar. [5]

Fig. 2.3: Map showing the Grand Trunk Road

Learnings These trade routes indeed shaped the national as well international boundaries. It has tremendous potential to transform the local trade, in international exchange.

In this Global world we still indulge in these same trade routes which also holds one of the many significant cities that are International Trade centers for goods.

2.2 History of Markets 2.2.2 Trade and Travel : Markets and Caravansaries Islamic reign Muslim civilisation has always been mobile, both Arabs & non Arab Congress from Central Asia were originally Nomadic & inherited by tradition of travel.

In the harsh conditions & country side of the most Islamic countries, the travellers were merchants & pilgrims which needed more frequent places to rest & shelter that the widely spread towns & cities could provide.[8]

Fig. 2.11 : Painting of settlements

Fig. 2.12 : Tent Structures

The travellers used the caravans for their travel and tents for resting in over the time. Caravans both the form of mutual protection like convoys of ship in wartime.[8] It was necessary that all the ancillary services that caravansaries themselves their urban equivalent,the Khan and the markets should be but on corresponding communal scale.[8]

Muslim Road often followed Pre-Islamic routes.

Muslim Bridge building techniques are based on Roman and Saracen precedent primitive structures can be seen today in remote areas like Afghan. The most impressive are those in seljuq Anatolia, where the Roman prototype is modified by raising & widening the central arch.

High point of Islamic Bridge building is reached in famous khwaju Bridge at Isfahan,where functional & aesthetic considerations are effortlessly combined the central toll-way is flanked by arched galleries.[8] Markets A settle hierarchy governs the layout of Muslim market and is surprisingly constant from North Africa to India foodstuff are generally sold in open air as in the example of Morocco.

The Bazaar is one of the Classic defining features of Islamic town the commercial spine of the urban fabric linking Mosque hamams, Khan’s and school, a city in a miniature consisting of dozens of streets sometimes intersecting at right angle.

Shops selling the same good are always group together, so that they will be Spice Bazaar, a leather Bazaar, a metal work Bazaar. [8]

Fig. 2.14 : Market as Social Centre in middle of city

The standard Bazaar plan is a network of streets (Souks) covered with walls and domes of an with higher don’t or open areas at the crossing points in Central Asia the market may be enclosed by a wall as in Bukhara.[8]

Bazaar and bath group together the Twin poles of Islamic urban life, separated but in harmony. This remains true even at a local level as in small Bazar at Quzvin, Iran.

Ottoman Bazaar is that of Istanbul at whose Centre rise the two multi sections of Britain where the most prestigious goods were sold. [8]

Fig. 2.16 : Streets Covered with vaulted domes

Each shop occupies 1 compartment in Souks. Every available wall surface is used for displaying goods.

The Vaulted streets are led by a pictures in the centre of each Bay, creating a cool & well ventilated space that is ideal for hot climate.

Essentially the same architecture form previous all over the whole Islamic world. [8]

Fig. 2.17 : Carpet section In The Bazaar in Libya.

Learnings The markets evolved with a specific Architecture style that clearly indicated that showed the dominance of domes, arches and solid materials after being a nomadic community that used to thrive in tents.

These were the one of the first completely developed, dedicated and built market space.

These markets are currently thriving with same architectural features.

During the study of context if was found that the green cover in Zone 1 of the city varies, as there are conserved forest areas on the Banks of the Yamuna river and it gradually reduces when moved away from the bank towards the living city.

The greens are broadly categorized in 3 types as listed below:

98

The Conserved forest :

Plantation around the Monument :

Greens in Private Built :

The areas fall under the direct stakeholdings of the ADA & ASI. These are used to protect the monument from haphazard development.

This is specifically done to avoid any direct connection to the monument from other-sides rather then the entrance.

Near the banks, the Govt. Is recently developing public gardens.

Moving towards the actual built, almost no green space is observed.

Now Considering that out of the mentioned numbers only 10% would have holdings at the site. Hence Total Number would be : 6,300 People Tourists : the no. of people in that visit the Monuments and city of Agra daily Max :1,00,000 persons Min : 25,000 persons Considering the Daily Visits of these Tourists minimum at 50% at the site proposed, the total people that would visit could be 12,500 People Now considering Min Tourist Flow and Min Flow of Handicraft industry The total Capacity would be = 6,300 + 12,500 = 18,800 Hence, The capacity should be minimum of 18,800 People and max. upto 20,000 people.

8.1 Site Development

01

Zoning and Defining Axis : The site is zoned into 2 major parts based on functions : 1. Formal Zone - For dignitorial and cultural functions 2. Informal Zone - For the craft hub and recreational public realm.

N

Fig. 8.1 : Zoning and Defining Axis

02

Division of Land into 200 Meters stretch Modules : The linear stretch was divided into 200 m by 25 m module for development of case sensitive design.

03

Responding to Site : Using the Natural slope which is about 6 meters throughout the site.

The built should be along this slope so that it doesn’t violate the guidelines.

Fig. 8.3 : Responding to Site N

Development for Activities in formal Zone :

04

From the axis of the Agra fort, and other axis of at approx 75 degrees is used.

8.2 Module Design Development

01

Linear stretch of 950m division of land : The linear block was majorly Categorized into 3 parts : 1. River edge - Public Area 2. Craft Hub - Consumer Area 3. Service Road - for emergency N

Yamuna River

25 m

River Edge Public Realm Craft Hub Area Service Road Fig. 8.6 : Linear Stretch

02

Defining Smaller Axis : Smaller Axis at an angle with respect to main axis and also at 75 degrees are introduced, to guide the built.

The Angular Axises were chosen to break the “Linear Nature of site” and to “Abstract the Random Nature of Market Streets of Agra”.

N

Fig. 8.7 : Axis

03

Identifying the Built : Based on the axises choose the built was identified according to the site conditions. The site maintains an approximate slope of 6-8 meters in the 25 meter width.

04

The Abstraction of Street : From the axis, a sky walk was identified to create a Street at the highest level.

The street connects the Built to the Service Road level.

N

05

Main Circulation and Services : The site is divided into 3 levels, 1. Ramp of length 80 meters is provided to cover the height 2. Intermediate steps for vertical circulation in between 3. A Service block with Lifts and toilets is provided at every 160 m.

N

Fig. 8.10 : Circulation

06

Juxtaposing the Built : The last module at the river edge side is elevated to create a semi covered public realm along the river edge, which also creates an interest to the users.

The idea was to create a contrasting built to the context.
