Market Of Mandu

The studio is about developing a Language in terms of detailing elements of space making. The main purpose of this project is to bring tourists and locals on a common platform. Looking at the history of this site, it was earlier functioned as a trading port, taking the function back to present year ,this building functions as Town Complex which includes a Hand loom store, a Restaurant & bar, a bakery , local sweet shops and an open plaza. The project is taken further by three ideas :  1 - By Activity : with the idea of multiple shops and food zones, expanding the market.
 2 - By Completing the ruins : keeping the existing language in mind the building needs to be completed in order to make it function as a complex.
3 - By Materiality : With Brick wall acting as a skin that binds all the functions together.
