MARKET(SPACE) MANIFESTO

Studio Description Established in the 19th century, Chicago’s Maxwell Street was a near legendary openair marketplace that was often a landing site for the city’s new immigrants. Called the “Ellis Island of the Midwest”—despite being an unruly and largely unregulated site of exchange rather than government control—the Maxwell Street Market reflec ed changing waves of the city’s immigrants; from Jews and Eastern Europeans at the turn of the century, to Asians and southern African Americans in later decades. Besieged in the urban renewal years by development and expansion by the University of Illinois at Chicago, the near mythic flea mar et has since relocated and now operates as a pale shadow of its midcentury bustling hubub. Nonetheless, despite constantly facing premonitions of its demise, the (New) Maxwell Street Market has persisted, echoing in its own chaotic way the broader struggles in the city’s urban fabric. Each Sunday blossoming and then disappearing again at nightfall, today’s Market attracts shoppers, hawkers, tourists, and vendors. Nonetheless, today’s market faces its own challenges: struggling after the recession, the new Maxwell Street has lost more than half its vendors to less regulated markets around the city and struggles to attract visitors in rainy and cold weather. This studio proposes to critically address the future of the Maxwell Street Market by drawing on its history and a deep analysis of its current condition. What is the urban and architectural character of temporary and mobile space? How are 6

This studio took place in Fall of 2015 at School of the Art Institute Chicago. Market(space) Manifesto was broadly organized into two parts. The first half of the semester was concentrated on intense, semiweekly charettes. The second half focused on a longer project that students developed across nearly two months. Monday mornings were be a studio “salon”: cross-pollinating discussion, student research presentations, precedent analysis and short lectures. Thursdays were be punctuated by field trips and reviews, including to the Market itself, as well as events in the concurrent Chicago Architecture Biennial which featured visionary speculations for the city. This book, which documents student work from the semester, is loosely organized into the same format as the class. I hope overtime as the Maxwell Street Market continues to evolve this document serves as a provocation to further question the market’s nature, role in Chicago, and possible futures. — Ann Lui Visiting Artist 7

RESEARCH + ANALYSIS

the logistics of the Market’s gatherings informed by Chicago’s layers of history, social frameworks, illegal trade and city regulation? How does a seemingly “outdoor” area function as a single interior or series of interiors? What is the role of spectacle, systems, construction, and choreography? What built infrastructure or architectural rules condition the chaotic functions of the market? This studio investigates Chicago’s broader contemporary urban condition by investigating the microcosm of the New Maxwell Street Market.

MARKET(SPACE) MANIFESTO

Salon Bibliography This studio integrated a series of “salons,” modeled after 18th century gatherings for witty banter and intellectual discussion. Different from a seminar format, students directly engaged theoretical texts that asked questions about architectural methodology related to their own work. These texts were intended to speak directly to students design process. We engaged questions including, Are temporary urban conditions “architecture”? How can we perceive and represent constantly changing conditions? How should we involve local residents and integrate community voices in our design process? Continuing the SAIC’s ongoing questioning of the definition of “interior architecture,” students were asked to engage architectural theory which wrangled with this issue and to respond individually and analytically. The class read Peter Sloterdijk’s texts on the egosphere, which argues for a new individual interior formed by media and a sense of modern privacy. Students also read Keller Easterling’s “Subtraction,” which posits that voids and urban removal constitutes a series of signifcant architectural spaces formed by politics and often, violence. Foucault’s classic text on “heterotopias” can be interpreted as arguing for socially constructed spaces outside of main society, forming interiors shaped by ritual, hierarchies, and some degree of isolation. All of these definitions we e read against students’ experience of the market and tested for their usefulness and validity.

Tsukiji Fish Market is located in city of Japan. It has been built and relocated a couple times due to natural disasters. The current market is built in a bauhaus style which is unusual for a building like it at the time. The market is divided into the outer and inner market with the inner market being the most formal division of the market operation.

Some of the inner market vendors have had family involved since 200 years ago. The inner market is composed of a regular grid and stalls supplying electricity, water, air, and phone lines. The businesses are mostly wholesale, auction houses, offices, and loading bays. The outer market is filled with retail fish stalls, knife specialists, sushi restaurants, and freezer stores. The machiya (Japanese merchant-house) is found here with residential quarters above, retail below. Plans to move the market in 2016 threaten the current organization with higher fees and less opportunity for an outer market.

The Spitalfields Market is located at Spitalfields in the East End of London. After the Great Fire of London(1666), Traders had begun operating outside the city gates.

Today, Old Spitalfields Market is still the hub of ativity in the east end of London. The regeneration has resulted in the creation of two new public spaces, Bishops Square and Crispin Place, a public art program, an events program.

RESEARCH + ANALYSIS The Market Hall is a sustainable combination of food, leisure, living and parking, fully integrated to celebrate and enhance the synergetic possibilities of the different functions. A secure, covered square emerges beneath an arc, conceived as an inversion of a typical market square and its surrounding buildings. During the day it serves as central market hall, after hours the hall becomes an enormous, covered, well lit public space.

Market Diagrams This project introduced students to the New Maxwell Street Market through analytical diagrams developed through on-site observation, casual interviews, and research. Students documented and recorded the patterns of products for sale at the Sunday outdoor market, interviewed and met sellers and visitors, observed regulations or logistic schemes and architectural or urban rules. What are the patterns of items sold within the market? What are pathways of visitor circulation? What architectural, urban or regulatory systems are at play? Students visited the site (on Sundays) and created a series of simple diagrams of non-visible organizations and systems.

Palimpsest of Invisible Conditions In the second phase, diagrams from the last project were be layered into a series of 5 palimpsests, each with unique arguments relating the different layers. These arguments responded to urban questions, such as, How do points of entry effect market circulation?, as well as socio- economic issues, such as, Is there a correlation between race, gender, nationality or other identities and the organization of vendors? For the pinup of this three week charette, students developed one drawing into a refined presentation. This section features both the draft version and final version.

In this project, students translated their palimpsest drawings into three-dimensional form. Models used material, scale, and form to convey a spatial argument about the Maxwell Street Market. Students read Lecavalier’s text of logistics operating across architectural scales—from the placement of goods to the territorialization of urban space—and Bruno Latour’s “Give me a Gun,” two texts which investigate the way traditional representations of architecture often miss different the multiplicitous and invisible ways in which the built environment engages its inhabitants and contexts. How can we represent conditions which change over time in spatial form? How can we visualize and formalize invisible systems at work in the urban field? How can we “design” a rhetorical argument? These models respond to the palimpsest drawings developed in the past phase and developed formal strategies to respond to students’ unique research interests.

In Situ Studies Rather than designing remotely, this project proposed that students design in situ. Projects produced 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;on siteâ&#x20AC;? test of their shed design which was documented through constructions, photography, and recording. This could take the form of: hiring a performer to act as a verbal solicitor for the market; testing out a planting of native grasses in an abandoned lot; doing a temporary tape installation of a new floo pattern.

MARKET(SPACE) MANIFESTO

MAXWELL STREET MARKET The Maxwell Street Market is a Chicago tradition of bargains and bargaining with an international flavor. The market offers an eclectic mix of merchandise—from tools to tires, plus fresh produce, furniture, clothing, rare finds and collectibles and some of the best Mexican and Latin street food in Chicago. For about 100 years, Maxwell Street was one of Chicago’s most unconventional business—and residential—districts. About a mile long and located in the shadow of downtown skyscrapers, it was a place where businesses grew selling anything from shoestrings to expensive clothes. Today, that tradition continues at Maxwell Street Market (800 S. Desplaines St.), featuring bargains and bargaining with an international flavor, year round on Sundays, 7am–3pm.

Soliciting at Maxwell Street Market: This brochure was created to test how receptive visitors are to solicitation at the Maxwell Street Market. The flyer was handed out during market hours.

Market(space) Manifestos The Maxwell Street Market today is, in many ways, a ghost of its former self. It is neither the bustling, black market unregulated city hub—which fostered a rich jazz and blues scene as well as a landing pad for immigrants—nor the initial success at the new site, when the market overflowed with vendors. Nonetheless, the Maxwell Street Market is a unique opportunity to become a diverse, cross-cultural attraction for the city of Chicago. This project proposes that students deploy their critical analyses from the first half of the semester to look at the larger picture of the heterotopic market. Students were challenged to think critically about the next iteration of the Maxwell Street Market on an urban, as well as architectural, scale. Students developed a broad thesis towards the Maxwell Street Market and deployed this argument in their design for a new iteration of this unique fluctuating landmark. Guided y Alexander Eisenschmidt’s thesis of the “visionary pragmatist,” students were encouraged to draw from both the radical speculative projects that used paper architecture to change building discourse and the grounded, but innovative, in situ practices which engage local contexts and sitespecific stra egies to generate work with a positive impact.

Maxwell Street Market Sound Environments Emma Camilleri

150

This project, Sound Environments, began with an exploration of sound at the Maxwell Street Market. I started by exploring the site through both metric-based and subjective documentation of sounds, soundscapes, and music: from the shouting of the vendors, to the white noise of the highway, to the historic street performers. I then translated these sounds into two-dimensional representation in order to better understand the sound conditions on the site. From this, I developed a three dimensional model, specifically hig lighting significant sound contrib tions on the site that would later be used in identifying potential intervention spaces. After this research, I began further exploration into the symbiotic relationship between sound and the Maxwell Street Market, particularly in regards to blues and jazz music. This project argues that historically, the Maxwell Street Market customers and street performers had a mutually beneficial elationship, providing entertainment for customers and providing a space for exposure and money making potential for both successful and struggling performers. The market allowed for the continuation of cultural traditions of immigrant com151

munities and became a space where the birth of new music types was fostered, i.e. the Electric Blues. This project proposes to recreate Maxwell Street Market as a sound hub for the current music scene in Chicago. The focus of this musical scene would be on Blues and Jazz music. My analysis showed that the current geographical location of the Maxwell Street Market is in an area, which I am referring to as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blues desertâ&#x20AC;?: a space in the city without performance venues. Drawing from my early sound analysis of the current site, a new built form responds to the site conditions in order to create a harmonious sound environment across the site. In areas where the sound environment was quieter, I made new spaces for sounds, and in areas where this condition was louder, I prevented further sound infiltr tion in order to create a balanced sound condition throughout the site and penetrate underutilized spaces with sound. Both interior and exterior sound hubs provide unique sound atmospheres throughout the site. During the off days, spaces serve as sites for partnerships with local groups such as the Hull House and Gateway programs that already work with Chicago youth providing access to extracurricular activities such as music. The main 152

interior sound environment can be used during the Markets off hours as a music venue attracting the adjacent UIC community as well as the greater Chicago community. The material choice for this environment as well as the development of the overall sound condition on the site resulted in a choice to use Aluminum foam. The Aluminum foam responds to sounds and both encapsulates as well as repels these sounds through new built form. The main strategy for locating and siting these new structures was â&#x20AC;&#x153;hybridizationâ&#x20AC;?: my project, mimicking the way sound travels across a site and into crevices of underutilized space, interfaces with existing structures to further stimulate and create a new symbiosis of music with the existing acoustical environment of Maxwell Street Market.

Market Operandi Yi (Kevin) Miao

164

This project began with an initial analysis of vendors’ daily and weekly revenues, which ranged from [around $100 to over $1,500]. Over the course of my interview with [97] individuals, it became clear that most of the vendors have a problem with cash flow: their access to capital is based on seasonal up-and-downs and the lack of connections with costumers. This project, Market Operandi, proposes to improve Maxwell Street Market’s (MSM) inventory management tactics in order to provide a more sustainable environment for the vendors and attract new ones. I argue that architecture can serve as an infrastructure for a better economic model, and that there is a mutually affecting relationship between spatial systems and fiscal succes . Market Operandi is located on Maxwell Street (the original MSM site), where it was sited before being relocated in 1994. The architecture engages with the culturally rich, architecturally confused, and social complicated part of Chicago (UIC’s campus). As Chicago’s urban environment changes in response to forces including gentrification, inc eased densification and expansion, archi ecture – seen as infrastructure, rather than a unique tailored product – is 165

often reused for new purposes. For example, the facades of the old MSM now serve as storefronts for commercial chain restaurants. Consequently, this project proposes transformation of the current Maxwell Street Parking Garage. The architecture is a hybrid of the warehouse and the new market, two programs that are traditionally treated as unrelated. The warehouse (profi -driven, with an aesthetic dictated by logistics) is aimed to provide a more regular cash flow to vendor by adapting the Amazon/ Walmart warehouse model [where products are shipped directly to consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes]. The new market (heritage-driven, designed to attract visitors) aims to continue the traditional form of market scenes and revive the market, which both recalls a nostalgic past but also creates spectacle out of contemporary retail technologies.

166

MARKET(SPACE) MANIFESTO

BUSINESS POSITIONING STRATEGY

Market Operandi will position Maxwell Street Market as an nostalgic market – fun for visitors, good for the city to market as a tourist attraction – backed by the novel introduction of an advanced logistic strategy in a high-tra˛c urban location. Rather than locating these logistics sites in non-description locations, this project draws from MSM’s tactic of making spectacle of retail by showing the pioneering movement of inventory in the warehouse operation.

MARKETING STRATEGY

The architecture of Market Operandi is a union of the warehouse and the market operation. The vertical tubes are not only designed to support the vertical and lateral loads of the building but also render visible the ˜o w of inventory – which literally act as the ÿnancial support of the operation.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGE

The products on MSM consist mainly general merchandise that can be found in other market place and some rare handcrafted products. Considering Old Spitalÿelds Market (London, UK) as a precedent, it supported local designers and turned the market around to one of London’s main fashion incubators. The plan is to expand the handcrafted clothing and products business on the market by inviting more new vendors (Chicago local designer, SAIC Fashion design students) to open in the market.

DISTRIBUTION SITUATION

Market Operandi provides the infrastructure for vendors to reach more consumers. The current model is limited and relies on nostalgia and heritage to draw consumers to the site; this explains vendors’ struggle to distribute their products. In addition, the lack of public transportation access, parking, bathrooms and shelter all contribute to the low inventory ˜o w. This proposal improves the distribution network with sharing economy delivery drones, potential dispersed network of warehouses, resulting in a market which both expands up the historic entrepreneurship of the MSM to a new era. It also is a pioneering example of how architecture can translate anonymous logistic practices into a site of wonder.

The Maxwell Street Market is a Chicago tradition of bargains and bargaining with an international flavo . About a mile long and located in the shadow of downtown skyscrapers, it maintained its tradition for more than 100 years. However, the number of visitors are getting decreased recently and presumably, it might be because of its transformed city. Market’s current location can be described that it is blocked by Chicago River on the east side, Dan Ryan Expressway on the west, Chicago-Kansas City Expressway on the north, and Metra Railroad on the south. Considering its surroundings, it became hard to access compare to the past. Since ‘Street Market’ has unique features that attract people’s interest, people are still visiting this Maxwell street market every Sunday for a while. But on the other side, the street market can hardly fulfill people s desire to buy what they need in their life. So, after enjoying vibrant Sunday morning’s street market, people tend to direct their steps toward big markets such as Whole Foods Market, Target, or Home Depot. By investigating how people move from the Maxwell street market, their movement composed two strong axes along Desplaines Street where 185

the market is, and West Roosevelt Road where big markets are located. However, except these two axes, other area is still inactive, hard to find pedestrians on the streets. So, there needs a new plan to make the whole area active, and spreading commercial zone will lead peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movement to several other directions. Then how is it possible to make new market places on the original city ground? What if the city, Chicago grid is flexible and movable? Supposing the grid can be slightly changed, newly expanded area can be designed as a new public space or market place. Such deconstruction of Chicago grid can suggest a possibility of putting new programs in between original blocks. Because the whole city is organic so that each block affects other blocks, transforming one spot will influence other . By moving a few blocks, it becomes possible to design new urban space.

PROJECTS Attracting Urban Elements Ark Complex = Mist Maker @6 units Assuming that new spaces are created by controlling grids, it becomes important to decide what kind of urban programs can be put there. Because the main purpose of making new spaces throughout the city is to lead people toward inactive zones, it needs to be considered how to induce people to move toward other parts. So I categorized possible elements which can attract people, and set a certain circumstance of putting a program on the intersection of narrow street and wide street. So when these elements start on the corner of intersection, people would expect to see something when they turn the corner. Then, it works well as a strong attraction point. Things are classified in o 7 types- panel, bridge, pavilion, bench, paint, greenery. And these are selected depends on the width of street, for example, when a distance between two opposite buildings is 120ft, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Painting on the Street and building facadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is chosen to be designed.

Pavilion Movable Unit structure for Vendors A unit of pavilion is used as kiosk when vendors want to sell their products. Since this unit doesn’t have ÿ xed surface of wall, everything can be newly organized by adding partitions or panels. Or else, when it’s not a market day, the structure can be opened for public to sit on.

192

Pavilion - Roof Roof Pavilion Covering Three-way intersection Usually cars go underneath this roof pavilion, but on a market day, the road is blocked and vendors are allowed to set up their own kiosks. Since the pavilion can be seen from three di° erent sides, there are more possibilities for pedestrians to notice this structrue and come toward it.

Paint over the Building facade and road

Circular Paint on the Pedestrian way

On the surfaces of builidng facade and street of the intersection, it’s designed to be color-painted. That is for people to see the one on the wider road ÿ rst and to realize that it’s continued to the other one on the narrower street. It induces people to walk toward the narrower one and after passing through it, people arrive at the next zone.

193

Colored circular pattern on the street will make people to walk along that special pattern. This is one speciÿ c shape as an example, but the aim of this is to continue this pattern to narrow street so that pedestrians keep walking towards it.

MARKET(SPACE) MANIFESTO

Street Design Reorganized street with roundabout Planning a roundabout on the intersection provides more green space in the middle and it puts pedestrians before cars since drivers reduce the speed when turning corners. It is a lot safer and when the way to the center of the intersection is planned, people can be part of that scenery.

194

Bridge Multi-bridges between markets When there are several adjacent commercial buildings but not connected, customers have to walk all the way down to look for another entrance on the ground level. It cuts oÂ° their Ë&#x203A; ow of shopping, so when a bridge becomes a passage to go over the street, people have more options to choose what they need to buy. And bridges can also be planned as secondary market with linearly aligned kiosks.

When there are randomly placed poles extruding from the building facade, they become objects of behavior a° ordances.

Signage and solicitation played a prominent role in characterizing Maxwell Street Marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity and attraction during its prosperous years. Comparing it to its current forms of business-to-consumer communication strategies, Maxwell Village is derived from the concept of how architecture can be shaped through marketing and advertisement, both from vendors and through the Maxwell Organization. To maximize its exposure to the greater public, the market is relocated to the unused spaces of the UIC-Halsted Blue line station, allowing better accessibility, convenience, and most importantly noticeability. The Village consists of ten themed structures categorized based on the goods sold, each designed around signage visibility and exposure. However, the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacle is heavily promoted through the satellite division of the Maxwell Village, which consists of recreating the market on the transit system itself. Each car on the Maxwell Village Train corresponds to a theme from the market, which includes satellite vendors to sell their goods to users who ride this train for their regular commute. These marketing strategies are the building blocks that have driven the design of the market, as a way of restoring its unique identity to contemporary competitive standards. 199

A Compact Maxwell Street Market Duha Hamdan

As a first time user to the Maxwell Street Market, I struggled to find y way around, to figu e out what the vendors are selling, where I can buy certain items and where the service facilities are located. So I started by charting out the items the vendors sold, the exact locations of the services, coming out with four different categories for the vendors: Clothing Vendors, Food Vendors, Trade Vendors, and Home Goods Vendors. On the palimpsest, the vendors are connected by direct lines between vendors of the same kind, with the categories color coded, and the services areas within their service radius marked out. This translated into an analytical model that showed the chaotic connections and the different categories of goods sold at the Maxwell Street Market. As a solution for the market, I began by folding the existing plan into the existing parking lot to create a multi-level structure that can hold the full capacity number of vendors set by the Maxwell Street Market management on a smaller foot print. The folding of the plan created four levels, and within the intersecting areas of where those levels intersect, different services were placed (ATMs, Elevators, Bathrooms, Storage, and 211

offices . Columns and walkways create a structural system onto which the different vendor sheds can be placed into their desired positions using a forklift. The vendor sheds come in three different sizes and are all equipped with built in recycling and landfill garbage eceptacles, hand sanitizing pump, and color-changing lighted signs which will help identify what the vendor is selling on that day according to the different categories predetermined by the market, and help guide the customer towards that vendor. In order to attract more customers to the market, new functions were included in the market, such as a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground and exhibition gardens. In addition a flexibility to the structure was kept in mind by using foldable glass partitions between beams, retractable flooring between walkways and retractable roof curtains in order to add more programs as needed, and where it is needed, and utilize the structure for other various functions when the market is off.

Imitating Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climatic variations and the atmospheric logic of the Supermarket, this project proposes a new generation of Maxwell Street Market which takes root on Desplaines Street. Named after Galileoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temperature instrument (thermoscope), Thermoscape market produces climatic variations through a system of walls, columns, and material properties connected to an underground mechanical chamber. The Market contests the idea of thermal comfort and its own current vulnerability to relocation, exposed physical state, and economic constraints by embracing the idea of weather as its cultural producer and product. While, Maxwell Market is meant to exist on a Sunday year round, it lacks the infrastructure to be not only comfortable for visitors, but also for the participants of the market: the vendors, maintenance, and security personnel. The new climate organization will be composed of three zones, all equipped with the capability to adjust humidity: Hot, Cool, and Temperate. The distribution of zones is manifested through the construction of not only the atmospheric conditions but also the materiality of new architectural infrastructures. 225

THE MAXWELL MARKET MANIFESTO: THERMOSCAPE MARKET

Starting in the North, the cool climate contains areas for a sauna, freezer storage, and experiential spaces- imitating the logic of projects like the Blur Building, Rain Room, and spray misters in the produce section of the super market. The logic behind this area is that IMITATING CHICAGO’S CLIMATIC VARIATIONS AND THE ATMOSPHERIC LOGIC OF THE SUPERMARKET, THIS PROJECT PROPOSES A NEW GENERATION OF MAXWELL STREET MARKET WHICH TAKES ROOT ON DESPLAINES STREET. NAMED AFTER GALILEO’S TEMPERATURE INSTRUMENT (THERMOSCOPE), THERMOSCAPE MARKET PRODUCES CLIMATIC VARIATIONS THROUGH A SYSTEM OF WALLS, COLUMNS, AND MATERIAL PROPERTIES CONNECTED TO AN UNDERGROUND MECHANICAL CHAMBER. THE THERMOSCOPE THE MARKET CONTESTS THE IDEA OF THERMAL COMFORT AND ITS OWN CURRENT VULNERABILITY TO RELOCATION, EXPOSED PHYSICAL STATE, AND ECONOMIC CONSTRAINTS BY EMBRACING THE IDEA OF WEATHER AS ITS CULTURAL PRODUCER AND PRODUCT.

WHILE, MAXWELL MARKET IS MEANT TO EXIST ON A SUNDAY YEAR ROUND, IT LACKS THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE NOT ONLY COMFORTABLE FOR VISITORS, BUT ALSO

FOR THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE MARKET: THE VENDORS, MAINTENANCE, AND SECURITY PERSONNEL.

THE NEW CLIMATE ORGANIZATION WILL BE COMPOSED OF THREE ZONES, ALL EQUIPPED WITH THE CAPABILITY TO ADJUST HUMIDITY: HOT, COOL, AND TEMPERATE. THE DISTRIBUTION OF ZONES IS MANIFESTED THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION OF NOT ONLY THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS BUT ALSO THE MATERIALITY OF NEW ARCHITECTURAL INFRASTRUCTURES.

STARTING IN THE NORTH, THE COOL CLIMATE CONTAINS AREAS FOR A SAUNA, FREEZER STORAGE, AND EXPERIENTIAL SPACES IMITATING THE LOGIC OF PROJECTS LIKE THE BLUR BUILDING, RAIN ROOM, AND SPRAY MISTERS IN THE PRODUCE SECTION OF THE SUPER MARKET. THE LOGIC BEHIND THIS AREA IS THAT WHILE IT MAY SEEMINGLY DESIGNATE ZONES, IT ALLOWS FOR A DISTRIBUTION OF MARKET VENDORS THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM SUCH CLIMATIC CONDITIONS EITHER THROUGH ATMOSPHERIC PRODUCT RELATIONSHIPS OR SIMPLY THROUGH ADJACENCIES. THE USE OF GLASS EMPHASIZES THE CONNECTION TO WEATHER PRODUCTION BY ALLOWING VISITORS TO SEE THE INNER PIPEWORK. ADJACENT TO THE PRODUCE/RAW FOOD SECTION AND MOVING SOUTH, FOLLOWS THE WARM/DELI ZONE ALSO CREATING TENSIONS OR INTERMEDIARY ATMOSPHERIC QUALITIES.

Maxwell Street Market was an iconic location to shop when it established around the late 19th century. However, due to the construction of Dan Ryan Expressway in 1957 and The University of Illinois at Chicago’s (UIC) expansion in the 1990s, it has significantly educed from occupying approximately nine blocks (from east to west) to little over two blocks (from north to south) and it only opens on Sundays from 10 AM to 3 PM, steering away most of its vendors from the new proposed business structure for the Market (proper business license, annual fee, restrictions, etc.). Although many vendors had to close their business due to drastically reduced profi , there is one part of Maxwell Street Market that seems to be strong still. That is Food. If customers’ objectives are not to come to Maxwell to hunt for bargained goods, they are coming for the food and its cultural context within. Early analysis of this project had introduced the concept of “slow food” to Maxwell with hopes that this will bring more people to Maxwell who are not within Maxwell’s clientele scope. However, that seemed to have a conflicting argument with the reason why people are visiting the market and showed possibility of 237

losing its current clientele. Therefore, instead of trying to change the way food is made, it proposes to celebrate the greasy, hearty, traditional food that is central to the Maxwell Street Market by centrally organizing the vendors where it becomes the heart of the market and to have the rest of the vendors branch off of it. First proposal to the Maxwell Street Market is to relocate it to an abandoned lot next to the Chicago River, which is located near many attraction point such as the ICON movie theater, Target, and the famous Sky Deck few blocks down. Given the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relocation through the years across many sites, current location is not supporting it, in fact, it is hurting it. Second proposal is to introduce a structure to combine all of Maxwell Street Market vendors, food and merchandise, and create a community to make it a destination point. The idea of this community will later bring previous Maxwell Street Market vendors, such as Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Original Hotdog, back only to grow from now on.

Green and Public Spaces for Maxwell Street Market Sara PeÃ±a

Located west of the city of Chicago, the Green and Public Spaces for Maxwell Street Market project is an new architectural concept which shows different qualities to the various parks that already exist in the city. The project is defined a landscape in ervention in an industrial zone, in order to take advantage of the potential the area has and also be able to highlight them. The project will be able to adapt on a zone where there is no green spaces but it will also be able to adapt to its surroundings with the help of parking lots, building facades and existing green spaces. The project is solved in different blocks which include urban parks, coffee shops / restaurants, a green house and on the second level is a large promenade where the Maxwell Street Market will be located. Here there are also going to be common areas, social spaces and walkways for pedestrians in order to see the entire project. The project also includes an intervention to the building facades turning them into green walls and the intervention of parking lots. The existing green areas will be preserved and given equal importance for the entire project.

Site Study 3

Noticing the big difference the third site study zooms out even more, including UIC and residential areas from the west side. The difference between both spaces is now more drastic. Understanding that the west side includes UIC, which is a campus therefore making it greener and the east side being and industrial zone it doesn’t have this type of beneﬁt. So I decided to use the market knowing that it’s a public space as an starting point to the development of green areas on this side of the city. Study Models

The study models demonstrate how the design analysis began, where it shows that the market will still be the most important part in the project.

Since the main idea from my initial research was about movement, I propose moving the market onto the river. In this case it would be everything moving including the market itself. The existing market location is far from the city center, in an area without many people, and hard to reach. So I studied the path of Chicago Architecture Boat Tour and found how it is accessible and very popular. I thought to bring this liveliness to the market, and bring more visitors, and in my aspect moving the market through Chicago River will rich it with diversity, So it can visit many neighborhoods in the city. Boat size: 125’ * 50’ = 6250 sq f Tent size 10’ * 10’ = 100 sq f Total of tent venders is 44 on the ship and 45 small boats. 14 tents in Clark station. The boat stop in six different location: Union/ Ogilvie train station; Kenzie / river north; Lasalle/ Clark Street; Michigan Ave; McClurg Ct.; Navy pier.

Transit_Hub Lorenis J. Rosario

274

The Transit-Hub’s proposal focuses on creating an urban area much more accessible and appealing for pedestrians, for the purpose of reducing the use of private vehicles in the area, in order to give priority to public transport. Maxwell Street Market is currently situated within a very nice network of public transportation (CTA bus stops, Blue Line trains, Greyhound, etc.), suggesting that the market’s area is favoring public transportation vs. private. Nevertheless, when you walk to the Market the walk doesn’t feel safe, and it can be described as deserted because you won’t see people until you arrive the Market. Therefore, an opportunity was presented to bring alive The Maxwell Street Market through something bigger, and consequently transforming the entire sector. The proposal is achieved by placing hubs were there are bus stops today, unifying them in order to make the waiting experience fun and comfortable for those waiting. The transit hub’s architecture looks like it’s peeling from the ground, following a colorful path that leads you to The Market. Inside each hub you will find a comfortable place for seating, bathrooms, vending machines, and some fun elements like swings and see275

saws, among others to make the waiting bearable. In addition to the hub intervention, the project intends to seize the parking lots near the hubs in order to provide additional retailing space for the market, and clearly, to promote the idea of a car-free area. Transit-Hubs has the potential to keep growing on the entire city, but for now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main goal is to create a pedestrian friendly getaway in the city, reducing the usage of private vehicles, and bringing attention to The Market.

Four Gates Kate Barbaria

288

The concept of this project is to fortify the territory that the Maxwell Street Market occupiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to make it more permanent and present in the collective consciousness of Chicago. The market has, historically, been a victim of its own softness. A heritage institution, it is both persistent, and incredibly fragile, in large part because it appears for only one day each week. The strategy is to use architectural languages of power (the elevation) and territory (the plan) to define the space, and in doing so, to create a new, firm in erior for the market. Interiors are privileged spaces in contemporary capitalist culture. To have an interior communicates value and/or security to those within it. To have a home is to have privilege and security, and further, to make an interior is to generate power. This project studies the basic elements that enclose an interior (walls and thresholds), and deploys them to make boundaries visible. This new border leverages the existing landscape that the market is currently sited atâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;mostly a low lying channel of blank brick wallsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and builds off of it strategically. The border is permeable by cars during the week, and impermeable during market hours. However, it is visible at all 289

PROJECTS

Manifesto

MARKET(SPACE) MANIFESTO

times, exerting a continuous power. The border is not meant to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;secureâ&#x20AC;?, but rather to act as a functional filter, as a sign, as a part of a set of tactics deployed to create an interior space out of no place. The gates are made out of materials that are found on the site, especially materials that are typically marginalized, boring, or tools of oppression (traffic cones, police barricades, wires, signs, cords, poles). These objects, or icons, are reconstituted into whimsical, machine-like creature-gates that, through their thickness, movement, and mass create a new firmer space.

290

Walls, portals, thresholds, gates, and gatehouses Interiors are privileged spaces in contemporary capitalist culture. To have an interior communicates value and/or security to those within it. To have a home is to have privilege and security, and further, to make an interior is to generate power. The interior is created through elevation, section, and plan. The elevation is the spatial language of control, the plan is the language of terrorialization, and the section is the language of offense and defense. This project studies the basic elements that bound an interior: walls, and other dividing or filtering devices.

Door: A hard vertical surface that is impermeable, but can open and close to alow things to pass from one side of the surface to another. Gate: Similar to a door, but usually on the periphery of a territory, and larger. Not every private space has a gate. They are often found in locations where different levels of filtration are required between spaces. Gates can allow in large amounts of things, while doors are closer to the center and are therefore more selective. Portal: A portal is a gap in a wall or other surface that actively transports things from one location to another. Portals do not necessarily have doors or gates, and are often magical. Threshold: The area surrounding and immediately beneath a door, gate, or portal. Thresholds bridge material changes and they highlight the passage from one location to another.
