Open Air Market
Design and architecture of open-air markets, from spatial planning to structural innovation and cultural integration.
Open air markets represent vital public spaces where commerce, community, and urban life intersect. Designers approach these environments as opportunities to balance functional requirements with cultural significance, creating spaces that serve both practical and social purposes.The community explores market design through structural interventions like parametric canopies and modular systems, adaptive reuse of historic market buildings, and strategies that reconnect markets to surrounding urban contexts. Projects range from complete architectural reimagining to landscape-scale interventions that address resilience, food systems, and public gathering.
