Chabahar Fish Market

The primary concept of the Chabahar Fish Market in the architecture section is based on the market's primary structure, which consists of supply and background support sections. Also, a new sub-section under the heading of tourism and public services will be introduced to this market, according to the employer's request and the availability of attractive tourism capacity.

Main spaces and micro-spaces involved in the entire process, from the time the fishing boats dock to the final supply to the customers, in a multi-layered network, are included in each of the three categories previously described. The bubble diagram contains a collection of various places, considering the type of intercommunication and communication with the city, and the scope of each of the three sectors of supply, support, and tourism is determined.

Simultaneously with selecting the fish market’s essential spaces and building volumes based on the priority of responding to the functional and structural needs and solving the processes, attention should also be paid to the aesthetic aspect and its adaptation to the context and location. This bazaar is being designed in the city of Chabahar with a rich historical and especially cultural background.

The investigation revealed that there are remarkably few examples of Chabahar's historical architecture remaining in the city and its environs. Therefore, it is necessary to be satisfied with these remaining single buildings and to examine the patterns, characteristics, and index elements of each one that can be inspiring or influential in the architectural design of the market and use it to present a conceptual plan. By adapting to the collection's needs, the techniques and principles of local experiences in this area can be utilized. The plan's top priority is to operate by principles and respond to the needs of a fish market. In the details of the plan, using the architectural arch structure left over from the Pahlavi era, Qajar era, and before, respecting the climatic considerations that exist in the historical and local buildings of the city, and also using the idea of the multi-layer structure of “Bloochi KAPAR—rattan structure made by palm leaf—structure, " and wicker shades and the beautiful local “needlework” motifs of Chabahar, offer a wide range of possibilities in exterior and interior design.
