Abstract
Transvaal is one of biggest trouble neighbourhoods of the Netherlands. The big amount of immigrants and the ignorance of each others culture causes that the area is disconnected with the rest of The Hague. By connecting the two most important and exclusive areas of Transvaal, which are the ‘Haagse Markt’ (one of the biggest open markets of the Netherlands) and the ‘Paul Krugerlaan’ (an exclusive Indian shopping street), both areas will work together and will attract a lot of people from outside of Transvaal. To make a logic transition beween this two commercial areas I designed a bazaar street who is injected with 7 exclusive pavilions. These pavilions attract different lifestyles towards the area and also will stimulate the social control by its 24hr activity.
