Difference within a repeat

Manek Chowk is a notable city square in old Ahmedabad.it has various kinds of markets. The site is currently a vegetable market. and the infrastructure was designed by architect Claude Batley in the year 1942. The immediate surrounding of the site has historical buildings like Jama Masjid, Ahmedshah Badshah's tomb, Rani Ni hazier and also a night food street as Manek Chowk food market. As I walked through the site people had their own clothing style explaining the cultural ethnicity. and towards rani ni haziro streets there were handwoven clothes sold. Thus the program intends to create a space for local artisans where they can work, display and have a retail space for their products and also conduct a workshop on dying artwork. The consumer or the visitors can not only see or buy the product but can also learn to make it. The consumer will also have the experience, the cut, and the quality of the fabric and experiment with the wardrobe styling in the environment that connects with the new generation. In terms of design, there will be the use of material distinctive to Ahmedabad and subtly reflects the ethics of the brand which aims to promote the domestic fashion brand and also emerging, local designers
