Fish market in Bergen

Introduction:

Fish Market in Bergen has an important historical background; the area the market constructed also used in the 13th century as an open market. Their main purpose is producing climatizing protection to the fish rather than having an interior space for markets; that’s why the façade could be open on warm days, so the interior can contact with the outside.

Muttrah Fish Market

Introduction:

The new market celebrates the continuity of the region’s trade and fishing traditions, while also catering to Oman’s growing tourism industry. Situated at Muttrah’s harbour, a top tourist attraction, it houses a rooftop restaurant in addition to the market itself. The design exemplifies contextual regionalism, respecting the scale and integrity of the traditional context whilst adding new and dynamic elements. The curved wall that defines its spine reflects the radial shape of the corniche and bay area, and has light-filtering pierced decoration.
