INTRODUCTION:
The bazaar is a place with a varied display of
commodities intended to be sold to costumers and
earn money. Hence a space is dedicated to
thisfunction. Bazaars in the past were located around
a religious place for the strategic importance of trade,
accessibility and its location. The bazaar was not
only a trading place, but also had residences on the
top storey of shops. Thus, the streets along these
developed a character different from normal
streets.In Indian context, the bazaars were located
around temples, as it attracted trade and various
socio-cultural activities. The spatial organization of
the streets changed, depending on seasonal changes,
types of selling items and also during various
festivals
Likewise, a bazaar on the street is lively because of
the people in them.Hence, a street which is normally
used for commuting from one position to another is
lively because of mixed use happening there, due to
the presence of the bazaar, the spirit of place
changes. AIM:
To Study the place making of bazaars on the street
through spatial attributes in architecture.
OBJECTIVE:
1. To study the evolution of bazaar on the street
2. To study the spatial attributes of the bazaar via
place making and spatial distribution onthe
bazaar.
Spatial attributes include study of the parameters that
include selling items, reference to space, changes in
patterns during different seasons, types of displays
and variety in them any and any aesthetics added.
The spatial distribution includes study of
architectural features like roofing style, sellingspace,
display,scope of interaction for shoppers, sellers and
visitors, materials used, volumetric analysis RESEARCH QUESTION:
1. How do the spatial attributes and spatial
distribution influence the place, making of
Bazaars on street?
2. Do spatial attributes and spatial distribution
attract the people to bazaar and what impact
does it have on them? Have architectural
features also added to the focus of attraction
to bazaar
RESEARCH METHODDOLOGY:
The research is a qualitative as well as descriptive
type research where in case studies are used to study
the response of the people to the spatial attributes and
spatial distribution is analysed. Literature reviews are
used to study the evolution of bazaar on the street
that include secondary data like earlier research,
literature references like books, articles etc. and oral
history is also relied on.To study the spatial attributes
of the bazaar like types of commodities sold, primary
data collection through case studiesare done through
activity mapping via, observations, opinions and
behaviour of people are accounted on the basis of
their responses on each spatial attribute. Hence, these
are evaluated by questionnaires, opinions and
experiences. Spatial distribution to be studied via
graphical mapping through the various layers.
SCOPE AND LIMITATION
The area of study for research is limited to Tulsibaug,
Pune and Mahal, Nagpur. The area to be studied is
selected in a range of 50m radius. The reasons to
limit the study area being a detailed spatial studyare
needed for the expected outcome.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Paper 1: Role of bazaars as unifying factor in
traditional cities of Iran: The Isfahan Bazaar. In this
paper cities are regarded as valuable cultural,
technological and social achievement over centuries.
Urban places like bazaars are the integrating factor of
cities like Iran. The bazaars have evolved over
history, creating a place for economic, social,
cultural, political, and civic activities of people. The
main body of the city can‟t be defined without
bazaars. Over the year’s bazaar has evolved from a
place of importance around a Masjid and then a
continuous street linking the ends of the city with
various other spaces as well. Paper 2:The Sustainable Architecture of bazaars and
its relation with social, cultural and economic
components.:This paper talks about how sustainable
architecture when integrated within the public spaces
enhances the design and its response to its physical
environment. The climate responsive design not only
makes the space sustainable, but also ensures comfort
of visitors and shoppers. Hence making it a good
place for interaction, social activities etc .Thus the
design becomes socially, ,culturally and
economically dynamic .Also how types of goods sold
influence the architectural elements of the bazaar; for
example: The lane selling silk is covered with roofs
covered with roof and as the size of goods change the
lane width also changes in proportion leading
eventually to a public gathering space like courtyard
.This helps to keep the heat as well as protect from
cold weather during winters .Thus, learning from
past and importance of traditional cities is important
and inculcating that in modern contemporary
architecture is important. (Kalan & Oliveira, 2015) Paper 3: Traditional Markets in Islamic architecture:
successful past experiences: The paper stresses on
traditional architecture of Islam and how it
effectively responds to its physical environment. It
explains bazaar as a place of social, economic and
cultural attraction and hence how these parameters
were important back then and how they can be
practiced in today‟s contemporary architecture. The
case study explains how various architectural
elements were influenced that is their design was
responsive to the type of goods sold, the climate of
the place and the surrounding context. For example,
the lane selling silk was covered with the roof and
every change in lane was the indication that type of
goods sold also changed hence a varied rhythm was
developed. As you reach the end there is a huge
courtyard rather a public common square which
explains the importance of scale and proportions.
Talking about the climatic aspects the roof is that of
vaulted dome and skylights are made in the domes.
Which responds to the extreme weather conditioned
of Isfahan. (Hmood, 2017) CASE STUDIES:
Mahal, Nagpur
Brief History: The heart of any city, with a rich
history and culture, is often regarded as the. The
same is the case of the old part of Nagpur that is
Mahal. Founded by the Gond king BaktBuland Shah
the city evolved after the fall of the Gond Kingdom
the Bhosles took over Nagpur and are one of the
Historical families of Nagpur. The residence of the
Bhosleswas located in the present-day Mahal
area.Hence, the area has a rich cultural and heritage
importance.
Area of Study:The Radius selected for Study is the
50m radius around the 400 years old Kalyaneshwar
Temple, Nagpur. The history says that the area
currently a bustling market place was the
Nagarkhana of the Bhosles living in the proximity of
the temple. The temple complex belonged to the
soldiers who resided in the quarters in the Complex.
Thus, the area around temple developed as a place
for meeting, gathering for their families and had
shops of basic needs like utensils, grocery, vegetable
etc. A vegetable market “Mandi “was also present CONCLUSION
The bazaar on street is made up of various
components but the major component being the
people itself and the spatial attributes like selling
items, types of displays, aesthetics etc. are designed
or rather have the character or certain identifying
features to attract people .hence, they influence the
spatial organization along the street. People hence
they influence the spatial organization of the street.
Thus, placemaking of any space is important as it
defines the way a [place is identified and moreover it
is designed for the people that use them and create a
sense of belonging to the place, that is what attracts
the people to the bazaar.
