Brief Introduction

What is a Wholesale
Terminal Market?

A terminal market is
defined as, a central site, often
located in a metropolitan
area, that serves as an
assembly and trading place
for agricultural commodities
as defined by APMC
(Agricultural Produce
Marketing Committee), India.

Food Products constitute

53% of private
consumption expenditure
with a growth rate of 8%.

India - primarily an
agrarian economy
necessitates well planned
terminal markets.

What does Incremental growth mean?

Incremental development creates a

framework that structures large-scale
change through small-scale steps.
 Incremental growth: Where and Why?
Across the developing world, New Towns are being constructed on both
undeveloped land and over existing low-rise settlements.

Although designed to house hundreds of thousands and in some cases

millions many instant cities remain ghost towns.

Planned and built from scratch, New Towns are the latest iteration of a city
making tradition that reaches back over a century, to the work of Ebenezer
Howard and Le Corbusier.

The interventions arise from many types of possible approaches, identifying

two distinct groups by their initial nature. 1) based on total demolition and
complete replacement of the area and, 2) in the transformation and
requalification of these clusters through qualification strategies of the pre-
existing. Following this last strategy emerges the Incremental Housing as a
solution to a flexible intervention to the real needs of these areas.
 Incremental growth: Where and Why?
This context allows the evolution and improvement of housing in medium-long
term, giving better conditions of life for its residents without large upfront costs.

The components are added or changed by inhabitants and/or builders as money,

time, or materials become available.

The concept of Incremental Housing is based on the capacity to adapt the house
model to the evolution of the family (growth and decrease of the number of family
members). However it is important to assure that it is available to adapt this
evolution of the housing to the site and urban context

Execution begins with the creation of a long-term masterplan.

The implementation of that plan, however, is conducted incrementally, at the

district, neighborhood, parcel and building scales. Key streets and infrastructure
are oriented for easy extension to accommodate greater development in subsequent
years.

Concept: Incremental Growth in form of Modules

Essential components forming a Auction sheds occupy the peripheral position in the
module hence segregating different activities and

such that, when modules
are placed according to

combine to form the core
