The project uses modern passive design strategies to comfort the user. Use of recreational spaces to de- congest the market with an effective design process to eliminate the existing collision of vehicles with pedestrian walkways. The existing market lacks light and ventilation, circulation space and thus the proposed market has sufficient light and ventilation through the light penetrating glass , tensile roofing and adequate circulation spaces through the fluid and organic form that attracts the user from the entrance. All the functions are visually connected to each other and aims at converting a maze like confusing market into a multi functional leisure space.
