Re-Defining Traditional Bazaar Areas and Shade Structures Via ParametricDesign Methods

For the continuation of life, people created various equipment and goods. To create mutual benefits, they’ve exchanged the overpruduced items with different products. This has begun the shopping act. By the increased amount of transactions, a need of defined area for shopping have arisenFor a temporary time, trading areas have been developed at differentlocations at a certain period. In the course of time, beside trading, theseareas served as socio-cultural spaces where the human relations wereestablished. Moreover, demand of being able to immediately access toneeded goods have emerged. This situation made having a permanenttrading area essential. Therefore, enclosed and permanent trade areasfrom bazaar, inn, bedesten, arasta to shopping malls have emerged. Nextto all these trading areas, traditional bazaar areas keep beingestablished.Nowadays, there is a need of providing some determined comfortconditions to the users for these street alley bazaars. Decreasing the effect of unfavorable weather conditions and providing supportivecertain services and units (like WCs, security, cleanliness, etc.) are someof them. As a fundamental solution, without disengaging the userrelations with the outside, shade structures are generally provided.Shade structures can support cleaning and similar jobs by gathering andusing rainwater besides its purpose of protecting the user from badweather conditions. Application examples of these systems are graduallyincreasing. However, it is necessary to develop new approaches, in orderto stop these proposed shade structures, become prototypes and toadapt the proposal to its environment and to increase diversity.In this study, a convenient shade structure and its alternatives, whichare adapted to environmental conditions, were designed to create asample model for other bazaar areas. In models, basically, folding designapproaches were pursued. For production of these shade structuremodels, parametric modelling technics (Grasshoppers and Rhinocerossoftware) were used and different variations of model were generated.Chosen examples of models were evaluated in the aspect of feasibility. Acomparison was made between the existing examples and our designedmodels. Ecological contributions of these models were also taken intoconsideration and harvestable rainwater amount by this system wascalculated. Accordingly, advantages of the system to the bazaar area andto its environment were studied.
