MARKET

RMSC26

Local Market in a precinct is the place where the space is echoed with the calls from the familiar sabjiwalas, the regular bargaining, the recognition of best tomato seller, apple seller, dhaniya seller unanimously, the everyday exchange of words creating an air of intimacy in the air . People feel connected to the place as it intertwines with their everyday life.

CURRENT SCENARIO

The Syedpura Market exhibits such characteristic behavior as people of the vicinity clog to the Market; they buy their stuff, linger around, have tea, enjoy the shady space in the afternoon. The market becoming a neighbourhood gathering space in the evening with a sense of belongingness.

VISION-1 NEW IMAGE OF MARKET The idea is to break the stereotype of local markets of providing shaded space. The Local Market as the identity of the precinct.

V I S I O N & ST R AT EG I ES

VISION-2 ROOF AS DYNAMIC ELEMENT The mundane, static roof can be explored and tapered with as per the changing diurnal needs of neighbourhood people.

VISION-3 ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS Providing a Multipurpose Hall for the people of Syedpura.

People can conduct weddings and community functions which otherwise is an indoor sports area.

VISION-4 SPACES FOR PEOPLE The market in the evening after the vendors ebb away, can turn into a leisure space for neighbourhood and communal/religious gatheings in open space. Eg. Satsang, Bayan, Concert can be conducted here.

VISION-5 PARKING The exisiting and added activities demands more parking space. Hence the provision of basement parking for community needs and floating parking for market activities.
