Background Gwalior Trade Fair is one of the oldest and largest trade fair in Madhya Pradesh, in Northern India. It was started in 1905 by the king of Gwalior : Maharaja Madhav Rao Scindia and with the history of 111 years, Gwalior Trade Fair is held at vast and modern fair complex spread over 104 acres. 5000 pavilions and shops, provided with ready-to use structures for showrooms and exhibitions. The fair complex has an independent power sub-station, water system, hospital, police station, banks and other modern facilities. The city boasts of its grand annual event, organized by Gwalior Trade Fair Authority : a nodal agency of govt. of Madhya Pradesh. The event which is a rare and captivating confluence of glorious tradition, culture, tourism and trade with a footfall of 10 million runs for over a month (December/January).
Mission Statement Aim/Design Problem : 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. Keep in mind how you can blend new structures with old structures (conserving the heritage old structure).

Case study(Comparative Analysis) of Trade Fair/Exhibition Spaces
Pragati Maidan – New Delhi BIEC – Bangalore Fiera Milano – Rho Italy
• The design philosophy is not consistent but appears in parts.
• The design ideas of the exhibitions are well conceived ex : The hall of nationals, Hall of Tech.
• The designs of the exhibitions are very mechanical and lean more towards workability of the space.
• Design philosophy is non existent. The steel structure are not visually appealing.
• Very strong design philosophy which aims to make exhibition centre as a casual space.
• The in-between connecting spaces are dramatic and interesting which accentuates overall design.
• Pragati Maidan is a good example of the way a typical exhibition center works.
• Large halls, spacious outdoor spaces etc. But the spaces are dead when no exhibition happens.
• Bangalore International Exhibition center is a typical large scale international exhibition space meant only for large scale fair. Designed following International standards.
• Fiero Milano is the finest example of an exhibition center which responds well to the context of the city without sacrificing the international standards.
• Well laid out spaces and the mood created is unparalleled.

• Located in the city center, well connected to transportation links. 2.5 km’s away from the Gwalior railway station.
• Easily accessible to public, the Vyapar mela ground is located at a place where it doesn’t affect the busy racecourse road traffic, as there is a separate road for the main entry of Gwalior trade fair.
• Good planning in terms of connectivity but the monotonous layout makes way finding harder.
• Dedicated sections for different sectors such as electronic, clothe, food etc.
• No particular landmarks except similarly designed numbered Chattri’s (Squares), also acts like resting place which are made on every junction.
• Total Area : 104 Acres

• No particular design philosophy. The design is an organic outcome of the requirement and needs at the particular time the trade fair was re-designed (around Year : 2000).
• Permanent structures around each block designed monotonously, a concrete structure where the exhibitors can build in their temporary shops.
• Gwalior Trade fair is a carnival, exhibition, and a cultural statement. The planning / layout of the trade fair responded well enough to the context back then.
• The problem with the planning / layout is that it is outdated and does not respond to the current changing times. The much needed change is required in the whole planning and designing of the Vyapar Mela.
