This project addresses the spatial and cultural marginalisation of the Romani Community by analysing the annual Horse Fair held in Applyby-in-Westmorland, UK. In response to the limitations of the original site-including issues of inconvenience and environmental pollution. As a result, the proposal introduces a multifunctional architectural complex that integrates a market, stables, gallery and bridge.

The architecture supports the fair’s activities while enhancing cultural visibility and historical recognition. Ultimately, my project seeks to create a space for exchange, preservation, and reconcilitation between the Romani community and the wider public.
