Vending Space
Design and architecture of spaces where goods are sold, from street vending to retail environments and market structures.
Vending space encompasses the design of retail environments, market structures, and vendor infrastructure. This includes temporary and permanent installations, street furniture, and adaptive spaces that facilitate commerce and community gathering.
The community explores conversions of industrial buildings into retail destinations, modular vendor systems for urban streets, speculative retail futures, and the repurposing of factories and warehouses as markets and galleries that blend commerce with cultural programming.
