BAZAAR-HALL

Bopal is dotted with inklings of new and growing informal markets whose growth is constantly subjugated due to the laws that apply there. Bopal needs informal public bazaars like Manek Chowk and law garden to fill its lack of public leisure space. A permanent and safe space for growth and supporting forms needs to be provided for these small squatter markets to grow into thriving bazaars. Is there a possibility of transforming the market hall type and its approach in supporting the marketplace into a hybrid of a market + bazaar - to suit a context like Bopal? and can such a space enhance the leisure activities associated with the Bazaar
