The Antarvedi Fish Market - A Thesis project by Vinay Moses

THE ANTARVEDI FISH MARKET

The Purpose

The purpose of the project was initiated to rejuvenate and integrate the current fish landing area through proposing the Fish market which not only focuses of economics but also to improve the quality of living.

The project focuses on to improvise the livelihood of fisherman by providing them conventional space with better facilities for their equipment, boats, nets, cold storage facilities and mainly a market. This will establish a new improved way of living while providing employment and enjoyment to the people who living there as it will also focus on certain goals to achieve a sustainable building design. The main challenge for this thesis is to make the current architecture elements in that area and the urban fabrics on surrounding to be adopt to the building and clearly interpreted.

Creating a place that embraces the role of a hub and icon for the town and become a fundamental part of the Antarvedi a place for fisherman and everyday visitors, one that honors the livelihood of fisherman.

Guidelines for Domestic Marketing

Introduction

The establishment of domestic markets plays a very crucial role in the development of fisheries sector in the country. Apart from ensuring nutritional and food security, it also helps in minimizing post-harvest losses, increase revenue, enhance employment opportunities and offers high standards of hygiene and sanitation leading to food safety. The importance of domestic marketing can be understood from the fact that only about 15% of the total fish landing is utilized for export of fishery products and the remaining about 85% is distributed through domestic markets. As more and more trade restrictions are being imposed on the fishery product exports, a well developed domestic marketing system only can ensure the viability of the fisheries sector.

Components of Assistance

In the backdrop of the above, the following areas have been identified for the development of domestic fish marketing system in the country:

• Modernisation of wholesale markets

• Cold chains of hygienic retail outlets of varying levels

• Schemes under rural development for promoting women and weaker sections in domestic fish marketing

Modernisation of wholesale markets

The wholesale fish markets are generally located at strategic points where the fish and fishery products arrive and distributed to different parts of the country. The trading is mainly between agents /intermediaries and also packing and repacking of fish take place in these markets. Most of the wholesale markets in the country at present are in an unorganized way, without adequate facilities for fish handling and storage. For improving the wholesale markets, there needs to be adequate parking space for the vehicles, loading and unloading facilities including equipments. A well developed transportation system is an essential component of wholesale marketing. Development of motorable roads, connectivity with other retail and landing centres and interior markets should be established to facilitate easy transportation. Large scale storage facilities, cold storage, provision for ice, water, communication facilities and waste management system, etc. are to be established. Hygiene and sanitation as per prescribed standards should also be enforced.

Eligibility criteria

• State Fisheries Departments, Local civic bodies such as municipal corporations, Fishermen Cooperative Societies, NGOs dealing with fishers, State fisheries Corporations/State Fishermen federation.

• The NGOs applying for funding should have atleast 3 years track record in the concerned field and should be recommended by autonomous fisheries bodies of the concerned states as State fisheries corporation/ State fishermen federation.

• Modernisation of infrastructure will be provided at places where existing facilities require further development by way of construction and equipments

• The proposal should be viable for contributing to additional income and employment

Requirements

Materials and methods of construction to resist the effects of cyclones

Tropical cyclones belong to the family of atmospheric disturbances, where wind rotates around an area of low pressure and are formed in the ocean regions between 5 and 30 degree latitudes on either side of the Equator (Venkateswarlu et al 1985). A tropical cyclone is a large rotating storm with a giant vortex of 150 to 1000km across and 12 to 15 km high. When the wind speed of the atmospheric disturbance exceeds ! 7 m/s, it is termed as tropical cyclone, but the cyclone is known to cause structural damage when the sustained wind speed exceeds 33 m/s. In India, cyclones occur during April and May and also from October to December. Coastal areas of India, especially the east coast, are severely affected due to cyclones every year and experience heavy losses to both life and property. Housing sector is normally the worst affected during cyclones in terms of damage to structures and losses to human life.

The Spatial Adaptations In Fish Trading Centers

Qualities Of Architectural Space.

There are many ways in which the qualities of an architectural space may be described depending on authors’ perspectives. In design perspective (Michael & Tim, 2008) pointed out that, quality is often determined by the degree to which the design is successful in meeting or exceeding user expectations; however, it can also encompass characteristics such as freedom from defect, safety, reliability, maintainability and adherence to requirements. Therefore from the literature, the study presumed that, the qualities of fish market spaces is determined by the ways in which the particular spaces have first met or exceeded all of the users’ expectations and if these expectations in one way or another can’t be reached by the space, the users are expected to make changes to reach their satisfaction. In his book of form, space and order (Ching, 1979) described the spatial qualities in building context to be considered, the author asserted that, the spatial qualities are spatial form, proportion, scale, light, view, color, texture, form and pattern where by all are dependent factors to the properties of the enclosure of a space. Ching further pointed out that the properties of enclosure include dimensions, shape, configuration, surface, edges and openings. From the literature, the study presume that, in fish markets among other properties of enclosure, configuration of spaces seem to have major effect in improving or minimizing the quality of the market space. This is may be because of the operation nature of fish markets from the receipt of fish to transportation which is seem to be supported by linear nature of operation.

Design And Construction Of Jetties

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to present a brlef outline of the general engineering procedure for the siting and design of jetties and the methods of constructing such structures. After a general presentation of the formulae proposed by various engineers to determine the size and weight of individual pieces of stone or other material which should be used under various wave heights, this paper will be devoted principally to the construction of rubble stone jetties.

Purpose Of Jetties

Jetty, any of a variety of engineering structures connected with river, harbour, and coastal works designed to influence the current or tide or to protect a harbour or beach from waves (breakwater). The two principal kinds of jetties are those constructed at river mouths and other coastal entrances and those used for the berthing of ships in harbours and offshore where harbour facilities are not available. Jettylike structures may be built out at intervals from the banks of rivers where a wide channel must be narrowed to concentrate the current and thus help maintain a navigable channel. These structures—variously termed spurs, spur dikes, and groins—may also be projected from the concave side of a river to retard bank erosion.

Types Of Jetties

(1) Random stone: A rubble-mound structure is in fact a long mound of random stone. The larger pieces are placed on the outer face to afford protection from destructive waves, and the smaller sized stones are placed in the interior of the structure. This type is adaptable to any depth, may be placed on any kind of bottom, and absorbs the wave energy with little reflected wave action. This type requires relatively large amounts of material. If not carried high enough, storm waves may sweep entirely over the jetty and cause a secondary wave action in the protected area, and if the voids between the stone are too large a considerable portion of the wave energy may pass through the structure.

(2) Stone and concrete type is a combination of rubblestone and concrete. This type ranges from a rubble-mound structure, in which the voids in the upper portion of the rubble are filled with concrete, to massive concrete superstructure on rubble-mound substructure. The mound is used either as a foundation for a high concrete superstructure or as the main structure surmounted by a concrete cap with vertical, stepped, or inclined face. This type requires less material, and is used where the foundation is soft or subject to scour. The superstructure may be undermined by wave recoil down the face; rubble foundations require time to become permanently stable and should be placed years before the superstructure:---This--type of Jetty, when properly designed and constructed, gives very satisfactory service.

2.Sample of wholesale fish market

(3) Caisson type: The first caissons were built of iron but today they are buil t of floated into position. settled upon a tion, filled with stone to give stability, then ca2.2ed with cap stones_or slab, and, occasionally, parapet walls are added. Some caissons have a reinforced concrete bottom which is an integral part of the caisson, while others, such as the ones used in constructing the WeIland Ship Canal, are bottomless and are closed with a temporary wooden bottom which is removed after the caisson is placed on the foundation. Caissons are suitable for depths up to 35 ft. Foundations are either rubblestone alone or piling and rubblestone.--Rlprap-or-heavy stone is used alongside to prevent scour, to provide resistance against sliding, and to prevent weaving under wave action. On sand bottom, considerable riprap is required.

Improvements in materials and methods of construction to better withstand cyclones

Houses with thatched roofs and mud walls extensively being constructed in coastal regions basically have inadequate resistance to high cyclonic wind forces and collapse of such houses is expected during cyclones. It is, hence, suggested that their use can be made to a limited extent. The blowing off of the thatched roofs can be prevented by tying the roof with rope, wires or metal straps and by anchoring it to the ground. The durability of the mud walls can be improved by waterproof treatment of the exterior and interior surfaces. Use of non-erodable mud, based on bitumen cutback, is suggested for mud houses (Mathur 1984).

Some of the factors which contribute significantly towards the performance of pitched roof buildings during cyclones include proper selection of roof pitch, type of roof framing (gable or hip type), type of bolts for connecting the fasteners (J type or U typel and the number and spacing of these bolts in each cladding sheet.

It is reported, based on wind tunnel investigations, that when the pitch of the roof ranges between 30 and 40 degrees, the wind force on the roof cladding is minimum.

This is indicated in figure 3, wherein it is seen that for various aspect ratios, the value of suction pressure coefficient, Cp, for the above range of the pitch angle is found to be minimum.

Sydney Fish Market

New Location

The Sydney Fish Market will be relocated from its existing location in Pyrmont to an adjacent wharf in Blackwattle Bay in Sydney Harbour within The Bays Precinct. Centered around the new market, this stunning harbour front location will rival the world’s best markets and will include a variety of restaurants, cafes, bars, and food stalls showcasing Australian produce to the world.

The new market is to be located on the water and a park, and across the promenade. But, rather than allowing the new building to become disruptive of the connection between the existing qualities, the design treats the New Sydney Fish Market as a critical component of the community: a catalyst for a strengthened relationship, both physically and through the identity, it offers to locals and visitors alike.

Accesibility

New Public Route Along the Water’s Edge

The amphitheatre staircases that lead from the plazas to the public market are a continuation of the surrounding landscape, establishing a foreshore promenade around Blackwattle Bay and opening a new public route along the water’s edge.

Design approach

Connectivity

The foreshore promenade is integrated and expanded via paths that encompass and circulate the destination, and those that force more intimate interaction through permeability.

Flows from Bridge Road will be separated such that what is different functional uses may continue uninterrupted by each other. Strategies that enable ease of operation and function are separating pedestrian and vehicular flows, through various configurations of the vehicles, securing connection for the markets to the wider community and necessary transport link for distribution of market products off site.

By integrating nature into the building, an active link is created between the peaceful green park and the vibrant, social spaces of the markets, drawing the surroundings and its visitors into and through the market towards the water.

Scale, Experience and Flexibility

A modular framework underpins the functional strategies of the facility and enables representation and ownership of stakeholders and user groups. The flexibility of the modular system enables spaces and places to overlap, change shape and form, to create new and diverse zones for different operations under the one roof.

Adaptability

Modules may be programmed individually or grouped in clusters to allow for diversity not just in use but in scale and shape as well. The building can be programmed with various indoor and outdoor functionalities, depending on the social needs of market users. It allows for interior and exterior spaces to flex, grow and shrink as needs require. The building becomes a responsive element that changes to meet the current and future needs of the various user groups and stakeholders.

Floor Plans

As a significant community and visitor destination, the new Sydney Fish Market will facilitate interaction by combining a vast amount of public space with an authentic market. As a working seafood market and wholesale operation, the new facility must support these functions in an uninterrupted way. The new facility goes beyond its immediate role of the sale and distribution of seafood and provides an array of varied experiences that enable change and responsiveness to the future, creating a destination for locals and tourists alike that is an integral part of the city fabric.

The upper ground houses fresh seafood retailers, restaurants and cafés. The design focuses on maintaining a human scale and creating a true market atmosphere – just like historic marketplaces or bazaars with a series of small stalls that are connected.

The aim is to create an intimate market atmosphere.

A sweeping timber-and-aluminium roof floats over the building like a canopy; it ties all the various program elements together in one elegant move, while giving the building an iconic presence along the harbour. The wavy structure is a response to the underlying functions; it rises and falls to correspond with the program below. Beyond design, the roof has four primary efficiency and sustainability attributes: shading, daylighting, ventilation, collection of rainwater and the possibility for solar cells harvest the strong Sydney sun. The roof’s triangular openings allow abundant natural light into the building, while their orientation shades the building from the harshest sun. The market has been designed to be as permeable as possible to maximise natural ventilation and minimise the need for air conditioning. The design utilises the roof’s geometry for rainwater collection and recycling.

Floor Plan Analysis Sections

With very clearly articulated, and very ambitious, sustainability goals that include a 50-percent reduction in energy consumption, a 50-percent reduction in water consumption, and a 50-percent reduction in waste compared with the existing fish market, this new building has sustainability at its core. The new fish market maximises its water recycling potential by a combination of rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling, bio-filtration, and mechanical filtration and sterilisation for the daily operations like washdown. A comprehensive energy optimisation strategy has been employed to reduce consumption and demand while producing energy from renewable sources. The strategy includes the possibility for absorption chillers to turn excess heat from refrigeration into cold water for cooling, use of excess heat sources to power the hot water system and space heating.

The waste systems employed in the new fish market aim to recycle all industrial food-waste. A comprehensive strategy for all recyclables will be instituted and managed to optimise consumables and the fish market will reprocess materials used in packaging and operation.

Fish market in Bergen / Eder Biesel Arkitekter

Concept

Bergen´s fish market has had a long and important presence in Bergen. As a lively market place it is leaving it´s mark upon the city just as well as does the historic monuments that are significant tourist attractions.

Our contribution to the design competition intends to carry on telling this story in the future. For that reason we chose the title “History Continued”.

The contemporary fish market caters all year round to clients. It therefore needs to provide levels of convenience and hygiene that require a permanent structure. Our proposition for the new fish market intends to address all challenges in this specific place in the center of Bergen.

The building shall meet all conceptional urban requirements while blending into the historical context and creating an image for the market place by means of modern architecture.

Position and Shape

The property is located in the heart of Bergen in the very middle of theworldculturalheritage„Bryggen“. The lines of sight from the „Almenning roads“ to the sea well as the lines of sight to the landmarks are crossing the property. Maintaining those is essential for experiencing the urban context around the historic bay.On the property remains therefore an approximate triangular space for the new construction. Given the moderate height of the new fish market hall it will still be the historic facades behind it that form the limits towards the historic bay.

From a pedestrian´s perspective it is the first 4-5 meters of façade that determine connection and segregation in urban space. The transparent glass façade on the ground floor continues to provide the view at the worldculturalheritage„Bryggen“ via the market hall.

Idea

Our concept does not aim at creating an interior for the fish market but instead at providing a climatizing protection for the market place that makes limits between market place and market hall disappear. The space is not divided. The floating construction volume is a roof and creates the protected part of the marketplace. The flexible glass façade provides shelter towards wind and weather.

The façade can be opened on warm summer days. Market activities inside connect to those outside in a way that creates one homogenous market place and market: The fish market in Bergen.

Floor Plans

Function

First Floor

Next to the public part of the market hall there is a service entity of 3 floors. It houses storage space, cold storage and freezer, production of ice, wardrobe and restrooms as well other technical units. The market hall´s roof hosts the tourist information and the „Norwegian Sea Food Centre“ on the first floor. The tourist information is also public space with panorama views towards the historic center of Bergen.

Second Floor

Accessibility and closeness alternating this determines a “modern marketplace” image inside and out. The market activity seems part of a staged scene. By night the building structure presents itself beaming with light. The fish market in Bergen remains market place and centre of city life while it is flexibly usable for activities as an open space as well as with its protected climate.

Section B

The fish market in Bergen is an international tourist destination and attraction. It has changed over time and has evolved: First vending fished from the boats, then using fish basins and traditional vending stalls until the current market hall. Backlit large-sized pictures tell the long story of Bergen´s fish market.

Facade

The buildings shape and the façade complement themselves together with the historic context of the worldculturalheritage. Even though the market evolved in a new shape the choice of colors and materials emanate from the historic substance.

Historic origins are being recomposed and newly interpreted with the material glass. Wooden panels in colors that are typical for Bergen, ocher, dark red and white are changing in rhythm and density. They render the façade lively. Seen from the front the façade stands for glass and accessibility.

Comparitive Analysis

The Sydney Fish Market in Australia and the Bergen Fish Market in Norway are both renowned for their seafood offerings and their unique architectural designs. However, there are significant differences between the two in terms of their architecture.

The Sydney Fish Market, located in the Pyrmont neighborhood of Sydney, is a modern and spacious building that was recently renovated in 2020. The structure is made of steel and glass, which allows natural light to flood the interior space. The market features large open spaces and high ceilings, creating an airy and welcoming atmosphere for visitors. Additionally, the market includes a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, including a boardwalk overlooking the water, which provides an opportunity for visitors to dine al fresco and enjoy views of the harbor.

On the other hand, the Bergen Fish Market, located in the city center of Bergen, Norway, is a historic market that dates back to the 1200s. The market is housed in a series of colorful wooden buildings that have been in use for centuries. The buildings are tightly packed together, creating a labyrinthine market that is full of character and charm. The roofs are covered with traditional Norwegian tiles, and the buildings feature intricate carvings and decorations that showcase the region’s rich cultural heritage.

In terms of architecture, the Sydney Fish Market is a contemporary and minimalist structure that prioritizes functionality and modern design. In contrast, the Bergen Fish Market is a historic and eclectic collection of buildings that has evolved over time, reflecting the changing needs and tastes of the local community. Both markets are unique and offer visitors a memorable experience, but they represent very different approaches to architectural design.

SGPDA fish market

The SGPDA market in Margao is a prime example of traditional Indian architecture. The market has a mix of modern and ancient architectural elements, which make it a unique and vibrant commercial center. The market’s design ensures natural ventilation, shade, and ample natural light, making it a comfortable space for both vendors and visitors.

The market is built in a traditional Indian style, with a mix of modern and ancient architectural elements. The market is spread over an area of 1.5 acres and is divided into two sections – the vegetable and fruit section, and the fish and meat section.

The entrance to the market is marked by a grand archway, which is a nod to the traditional Indian architecture. The archway is adorned with intricate carvings and has a sloping roof, which provides shade to the visitors entering the market. The archway leads to a spacious courtyard, which is the main hub of the market.

The courtyard is a large open space with a high ceiling, which provides natural ventilation and keeps the market cool even during the hottest of summers. The courtyard is surrounded by a series of shops, which are built in a uniform style. The shops are made of red laterite stone and have sloping roofs, which are covered with clay tiles.

The vegetable and fruit section is located on one side of the courtyard, and the fish and meat section is on the other side. The vegetable and fruit section is a covered area with open sides, which allows for natural light and ventilation. The section has a series of stalls, which are built in a uniform style and are made of bamboo and thatched roofs. The fish and meat section is also a covered area with open sides and has a series of stalls, which are made of concrete and have sloping roofs.

The market also has a series of small alleys, which lead to smaller shops and stalls. The alleys are narrow and have a curved design, which provides natural shade and ventilation. The alleys are also decorated with a series of murals and paintings, which add to the vibrant atmosphere of the market.

Plans and Sections

Betim jetty

The Betim Fishermen Jetty and Cooperative can be located beside a dense cluster of busy trawlers on the Mandovi estuary, under the Panjim-Porvorim bridge, Goa.

Present Site Condition – What used to be a high functioning fishing jetty with 150 trawlers, a chaotic fish market and a family of supporting economies (net mending sheds and gear shops) scattered in this fishing village, is right now ‘fitting-out’ in its context of luxury resorts and off-shore casinos dotted on and along the Mandovi.

Tourism Factor Effect – This gradual encroachment has led to many fishermen shifting to the tourism sector to make up for the fall in income and inability to survive the competition and has caused many such social and economic issues. Right now the site has lost its rigor in functioning, with the western half of the site bought by Deltin Royale.

Challenge - The challenge for the fishermen right now is to survive in this competition with the tourism sector.

Opportunity - The project builds around the idea to restore this dynamic, energetic character and functioning of the Mandovi jetty, by adding a layer of reinforcement, in the form of a series of dining decks run by the local fishermen and their families, as an extension to the same cooperative. This diversion would run parallel to the fishing activity on the jetty, with controlled overlap in the movement patterns of both these diverse functions, complementing the working of both.

Larger Aim - The building aims to set an example for the many marginalized fishing communities in Goa.

Strengths:

Location: Betim Jetty is situated in a picturesque location along the Mandovi River in Goa. The waterfront setting provides a beautiful backdrop to the architecture of the jetty.

Functionality: The architecture of Betim Jetty is designed to be functional, providing a smooth and efficient transfer of passengers and vehicles from the mainland to the nearby islands.

Material: The use of high-quality materials such as concrete, steel, and glass in the construction of Betim Jetty ensures durability and longevity of the structure.

Weaknesses:

Limited space: The space available for the Betim Jetty is limited, which may impact the design and functionality of the jetty.

High cost: The use of high-quality materials and modern design can increase the cost of construction, which may limit the accessibility of the project to a wider audience.

Opportunities:

Tourism: Betim Jetty’s location and modern design make it an attractive destination for tourists. The jetty could potentially attract more tourists and generate revenue for the local economy.

Expansion: There is an opportunity to expand the Betim Jetty to accommodate more passengers and vehicles, which would increase its functionality and revenue-generating potential.

Incorporation of local design elements: The Betim Jetty could incorporate traditional Goan architectural elements in its design to pay homage to the local cultural heritage and attract visitors interested in experiencing authentic Goan architecture.

Threats:

Environmental impact: The construction of Betim Jetty may have an environmental impact on the surrounding area. The project must be conducted with sustainability in mind to mitigate any negative impact on the environment.

Competition: Betim Jetty may face competition from other similar transportation hubs in the area, which could impact its revenue-generating potential.

Changing design trends: The design of Betim Jetty may become outdated over time if the trend in architectural design changes, which could affect its popularity and relevance

Having a sewage treatment plant ensures effective wastewater management and reduces the environmental impact of commercial buildings. Through proper treatment processes, harmful pollutants and contaminants present in the wastewater can be removed or significantly reduced before discharge. This prevents the contamination of nearby water bodies and safeguards the ecosystem. Moreover, treated wastewater can be repurposed for non-potable uses within the building, such as irrigation, toilet flushing, or cooling systems, further conserving water resources.

Varying occupancy patterns and diverse spatial requirements. Split AC systems offer remarkable flexibility and scalability, making them suitable for different areas and layouts. As standalone units, they can be installed in multiple locations without the need for extensive ductwork. This versatility allows for easy modification and adaptation to changing building needs, be it renovations, expansions, or reconfigurations.

The presence of gutters allows for effective drainage and prevents stagnant water from accumulating on the market floor. This is particularly important in fish markets, as seafood waste, such as scales, blood, and other organic matter, can quickly spoil and emit foul odors if not promptly removed. A well-designed gutter system facilitates the quick and efficient disposal of waste, ensuring a cleaner and more pleasant shopping experience for customers.

Ducted systems allow for zoning, which enables different areas of a commercial building to be cooled independently. This flexibility is especially useful in large buildings with varying thermal loads. By dividing the space into zones, occupants can adjust temperature settings based on their specific requirements, leading to optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
