The local market offers an opportunity for affordable, high-quality food directly sourced from producers and farmers. The informal markets in Chinatown suffer from poor sanitation and lack essential market facilities. The project‛s emphasis lies in leveraging urban areas to create an organized market infrastructure while maintaining their public utility. The vertical structure not only functions as a terrace overlooking dynamic event spaces on the lower level but also provides excellent visibility for the market. Additionally, the infrastructure is designed to be flexible and adaptable, accommodating different activities, from hosting a market to serving as seating areas. The design of the infrastructure relies on fundamental components that can be adjusted and reconfigured based on the site‛s constraints.
