These questions arise because there is on one hand, the need for revitalisation of our traditional bazaars with modern infrastructure & services built into them and on the other, to develop a new building typology based on the organic nature of our bazaars. Today, we look at the western models of malls as new shopping centres are planned all over the country. There is no documentation available of our existing bazaars. I hope that as more and more people take interest in the bazaars and research is made available, we will be able to conceptualise and build "indian malls" that may be even more vibrant than our present-day westernised models.Indian Bazaarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914323475841527802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34742897.post-1168196713572433532007-01-08T00:35:00.000+05:302007-01-08T00:35:00.000+05:30Interesting questions, I would like to think we ca...Interesting questions, I would like to think we can live in a world where a bazaar and a more organized form of retail can exist side by side - feeding on their niches. People think Indian Bazaars are haphazard, I disagree each market has a finely planned out anatomy. Just like when you're in a department store and you find the Womens section on the first floor, childrens on the second, and mens wear on the third or sometimes on the fourth depending on where they want to put the lifestyles stuff. This design has not evolved by my the administration but by the market itself. I think the Bazaar itself will bring about changes in itself to survive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198959729143779613noreply@blogger.com
