The building around the site shows the Mixed use development however the buildings in the proposed Sneinton Market shows the only single use hence unable to generate 24/7 activity .
Macro Level Movement pattern
Movement pattern and Frontages
•Open spaces doesn’t interact with each other in any order Hierarchy of open spaces •Designated green space -Public •Open market area -Public •Plaza in front of arena – Semi public
•The flow of traffic in front of arena and Lower Parliamentary street act as the Psychological barrier between split the area in two parts. • The vehicular movement inside the layout makes it difficult to use pedestrians .

•The predominant wind direction is from South West to north east. •The open public spaces got buffered due to the building around, however open space gets partially shaded in existing situation.
•The shading occurs due to taller building on site viz. student accommodation arena building. •Space between sheds is shaded because of the spacing between the building. Design Implication-parks and plazas to be buffered from chilly winds and
avoid shading area to the max. possible extent.

Extension of the Green Corridor
• Connecting the Sneinton market to
existing commerce pitch
•Enhancing the permeability of the layout
•Creation of the active pedestrian access
•Creating the series of connected squares
and plazas

Option 4
WINTER SOLSTICE : 21ST DEC SUMMER SOLSTICE : 21ST JUNE
EQUINOX : 21ST SEPT
Negative •Spatially not connection between the sqaures •Predominantly Shaded area • negative spacing due to existing building •Squares are predominantly private and hence no public interaction with squares •The open market square’s geometry doesn’t demonstrate good utilisation of space
Positive •The activated street • public squares are in sequence with specific programs
Positive •The chain of activities is ensured
•Open Veg . market area is climate responsive
Option 5
WINTER SOLSTICE : 21ST DEC SUMMER SOLSTICE : 21ST JUNE
EQUINOX : 21ST SEPT
Negative •Predominantly Shaded area • no connection between the squares •More space in private domain •The Square drams theater can be windy so might not generate desired activity .
•Positive •Continuity of the program with active ancillary uses in between •Clear segregation of private and public
WINTER SOLSTICE : 21ST DEC SUMMER SOLSTICE : 21ST JUNE EQUINOX : 21ST SEPT
Negative •Partially Shaded area • Negative spacing • unclear gateway to site
•Positive •Heritage building are connected and highlighted with pathways and prog .refab • Relatively less shading •Clear edging •Active frontages +ensured activity •Refurbished the sheds retaining the identify of the area
• The squares are buffered with wind • open space in front of the Drama theatre can cause the attraction point for visitors

Overshadowing Analysis Comparison on Site: Before and after the Intervention
Before: Inappropriate massing led to vast areas having direct glare of the sun. After: The new intervention controls the light falling on site resulting in well lit squares and partially shaded courtyards.
