The aim of the competition is to re-design Gwalior Trade Fair, which has been scrawl with the millennial. Hence to reawaken the glory of a historic city and to give back the original charm, through sustainable architecture, for the Land which is owned by Gwalior Trade Fair Authority. The design solution should lie within the boundaries of the following statements.
• An Integrated approach to reach the inventive side of the Fair by rearranging the spaces in a more colourful way. Unusual and controversial form that uses all the benefits of modern technology certainly attracts the attention of visitors, but this is not always enough. Hence the competition aims to develop the structures which can regenerate the allurement of more than 100 years old carnival. Comprehend and feel the pragmatic programmes together that can settle down to enhance the commercial viability of the space.
• Cost effectiveness, Sustainable planning and innovative revenue regeneration methods Design a sustainable form of Gwalior Vyapaar Mela which can differentiate it from the competitors using cost- effective techniques and methods in the planning. Adding more creative and functional spaces which can also be used throughout the year when Gwalior trade fair (Mela) is not running, and help in revenue generation and increase in footfall.
• To solve the functional problems and make the spaces more dynamic in nature. A solution to this can be Temporary structures which can be then dismantled after the Exhibition or Fair is finished, and is less cheaper than permanent structures as it can also be altered according to the space requirements. But, designing temporary structures should also make you think what happens to the materials used in the temporary structure and think of a possibility of having less wastage, re-use the materials and save money.
Another option could be a fresh new technique and solutions to be adopted to make the exhibition spaces more suitable for different kinds of exhibition. Hence keeping the above things in mind, a research can be done on transformable architecture and how well it can be adopted to the requirements.
