This 6’x4’ ft plan is a crucial part of Market Metamorphosis, a thesis exploring how architecture can rejuvenate public spaces while maintaining user agency. It illustrates the controlled disorder of Indian markets, where unbuilt spaces—defined by built structures—allow users to shape their own environments.
The thesis emphasizes the market as an inclusive space, where people from all socio-economic backgrounds converge. It is a place of exchange beyond commerce—of culture, interactions, and everyday life. The design employs fragmentation as a strategy, ensuring flexibility within a structured framework, making the market dynamic and adaptable.
As an essential exercise, every human figure was drawn individually to capture the urban public nature of the space. This detailed representation highlights the human-centric nature of the market, emphasizing interaction and spatial negotiation. By prioritizing unbuilt spaces, the design challenges conventional market, redefining architecture as an enabler of inclusivity and shared urban experiences rather than a prescriptive force.
