MARKET PAVILLION
LOCATION - JALGAON, MAHARASHTRA
Envisioned as a compact yet highly permeable civic anchor, the neighbourhood market is conceived as an inclusive public structure that supports the everyday commercial and social life of Jalgaon. Organized around a cross-shaped footprint measuring 8 m × 8 m, the built form is strategically articulated to enhance multi-directional access, visual permeability, and climatic responsiveness, establishing the project as a vibrant interface between commerce, community, and the urban fabric.


Approach .....
The pavilion is conceived as an open and inclusive architectural intervention, envisioned as a porous public realm accessible from all directions. Rather than functioning as an enclosed object, the design dissolves conventional boundaries, allowing the built form to merge seamlessly with the site. The absence of boundary walls reinforces this openness, enabling uninterrupted movement, visual continuity, and a strong relationship between architecture and its immediate context.
Climatic responsiveness forms a critical layer of the design approach. Situated in a hot and dry environment, the pavilion integrates a water body as a passive climatic modifier, enhancing ambient humidity and contributing to thermal comfort. This strategy is complemented by tree-covered pathways that provide shaded circulation, reducing heat gain while shaping a comfortable pedestrian experience. Spatial organization emerges from both environmental and social considerations.
The pavilion is articulated as a lightweight, permeable structure that facilitates natural ventilation and visual transparency. Retail spaces are designed in response to functional requirements—considering the number of vendors, patterns of use, and the nature of goods sold—ensuring efficient workspaces while maintaining flexibility and openness within the overall layout.
