Heritage is valuable for humankind the world over. It encapsulates all that the previous generations passed down to the next, everything that was meant to be cherished and preserved with utmost pride and respect. Market one of urban space, which acts as public space for many users, also sustains the neighbourhood various life needs. Many markets offer more than just functional needs shopping and trading.

It also shows redistribution of density can be achieved by organized zoning and circulation. Considering the project to be in an urban setup and building restoration, it would help in acting as a demonstration model for other projects.

LIMITATION-

Working around heritage structures can come across unexpected complications, which can create a varying design decision during execution. Restoration of historic building projects attracts public which will be subjected to public criticism. The MUDA norms and regulations.

Introduction To Urban Area

LITERATURE STUDY/ CASE STUDY

RESEARCH- METHODS OF RESTORATION

Referring to similar project for guidelines and understanding different stages of design decisions.

Referring standards and types of restoration, and to derive appropriate suitable methods.

• Planned zoning of city markets, transportation system in the city center which made easy access to common public.

• Market spaces is a spaces of tourist attraction with its dynamic activity and culture, along with business and commercial activity.

• Planned parking spaces along the road and dedicated parking spaces in city center.

• Denigrating heritage structures in city center creating a negative spaces.

• Unplanned buildings with lower capacity is not meeting up the potential of plots.

• Un-designated spaces for street hawkers creating a congestion in foot path, parking spaces.

• Number of vesicles parkable is reduces due to street hawkers using parking spaces.

• Redevelopment of heritage.

• Designated spaces for street hawkers.

• Re planning of plots to meet maximum efficiency.

• Developing existing open spaces and opening up to public.

• Creating open space with supports the present commercial activity around the market.

• Redistributing density and traffic.

• Lack of attention for falling heritage buildings can lead to safety issues, abandoning a structure.

• Un used buildings creates a negative space in city center, which leads to density un-even distribution.

• Lack of open space can create over crowding and decreases social activity.

• Integration of different social classes.

DERIVING DESIGN PRINCIPALS

SITE AND SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

Context study, road networks, user type and detail documentation of existing site conditions and surrounding.

Establishing urban design principle through identifying issues needs of study area.

Exploring development strategies for movement, open space and landscape, built form and density.

• Enhancement of local economy.

• Regulator (local) price commutation and open market.

• Road congestion due to high human foot print at certain time in a day.

• Insufficient open spaces.

Issues In Study Area

Potential of plots in city center is reduced due to lo built up area buildings.

Street hawkers using foot paths, creating congestion for pedestrians

• Due to competition the number of street hawkers may increases over time, un designated spaces for hawkers will increase a traffic issue and pedestrian discomfort.

Degenerating Heritage public buildings create a concern for safety of users and concern for historic value of a building it self. Continuous degradation leads either to demolition of building where the piece of history is lost, or abandoning the building which creates a dark path in a CBD area.

The State Government had released funds for the renovation of Lansdowne building but the works failed to take off following the dual stand of experts. Now, the matter was pending before High Court.

Height density built up area with no open spaces.
