MODERN FOOD MARKETS

MODERN FOOD MARKETS

Through the increased demand towards a casual dining out experience, modern urban food markets have seen a dramatic rise in popularity. While convenient and experiential for some, the opening of numerous urban food markets often replace traditional markets, essential to pre-existing communities. Whether a newly designed food market or an attempt in “modernizing” a traditional foodmarket, new iterations are deficient in valuing the “sense of place” and community resource that public markets provide for various individuals.

Thus, modern urban food markets need to have a renewed focus on respecting the cultural role they play. The purpose is to incorporate various design strategies to bring forth a meaningful Community Food Market within the setting of a former 19th century locomotive rotunda. 1.

FOOD MARKET RESEARCH AND PROGRAMMING Research Studies and Programming

Research identifies that markets are more than just transactional spaces but valuable places for gathering and socializing. This informs a programming scheme that incorporates both market stalls and community spaces to engage the surrounding area. Permeability and accessibility to the market location is also important. Thus, a site study and analysis is carried

out to explore possible solutions in making the building more responsive to its surrounding context. Due to the complex composition of the site, the building is visible from multiple different heights. This allows for interesting opportunities of increasing and altering the accessibility and approach towards the building.

With an overall floor to ceiling height of 15 meters, this provides an opportunity to design an additional floor plate. A second partial floor plate is added to the building housing local studios and an area for gathering to provide a more dynamic market experience that goes beyond food. The axonometric diagram not only shows the vertical circulation between the space but also the permeability of the market in relation to its surrounding context. The circular stairs follow the shape of the building while the partial floor plates allow for visual connection between floors to foster a greater sense of community within the space and to create a vibrant market experience.

CONCEPT

The final design places emphasis on making the market accessible to its surrounding site by providing multiple new entrances and embracing a permeability between the interior and exterior. The market spreads outwards from its core by recessing the pre-existing entrances to expand beyond its exterior walls. Elements and architectural features follow the circular form of the building to encourage movement throughout the market and greater connectivity.

ETHNIC STORE RESEARCH

To ensure the market plays a cultural role within its surrounding context, research is done on the numerous neighbouring ethnic stores within the area. Due to the large percentage of foreigners within the district of Gare/ Bonnevoie in Luxembourg City this area is home to multiple ethnically diverse markets and grocery stores. Culturally relevant patterns, textiles and colors relating to the various cultures are analyzed to be displayed within the final space.

An adaptable vendor stall is designed that is customizable by changing out the textile that corresponds to the culture of the vendor. The stalls are low profile and organic to allow for communication and familiarity between vendor and market visitors. Colors relating to the various cultures are analyzed to be displayed within the final space.

RECYCLING LANE RECYCLING LANE

With the overall aim of encouraging clean parks and neighborhood engagement through communal recycling, “Recycling Lane” targets the issues of Allen Gardens which include irresponsible littering and lack of a community environment.

The project was developed in stages with creative mapping and interviews with locals to understand the city conditions of Brick Lane and its potential threat of gentrification. The proposal includes a park recycling installation that stimulates community involvement, responsibility and immersion while honoring the needs of locals and Brick Lane tourists/visitors.

NEXT OFFICE NEXT OFFICE

A commercial office design strongly inspired by its proximity to Columbus Circle in NYC. For NYC, Columbus Circle is more than just a traffic circle, it is a physical point of connection that joins NYC’s culturally diverse neighborhoods and boroughs. A circular hub that is busy and active spreading from large avenues to unknown alleyways, an important connecting point for locals and tourists.

This valuable landmark is used as an inspirational vessel to design the 7th and 8th floor office environment for a fictional cosmetics company named “NEXT”. An office space located at this point of connection is a large asset with regards to the value NEXT places on their beliefs. Prioritizing accessibility, transparency and clean beauty, their company values follow the movement of NYC’s streets, starting at Columbus Circle and spreading beyond to push for change.

RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAMMING

Preliminary Schematic Concept

The main design concept revolves around the dense interconnectivity and bustling atmosphere of Columbus Circle, which serves as a vibrant meeting point and a gateway to various parts of the city. Drawing inspiration from its architectural layout and urban dynamics, these qualities are translated into the interior space of the building by designing the work cafe as a central hub for the office as it overlooks Columbus Circle.

The Reception is the first entry point of the office upon exiting the elevators. Large wood wool acoustic ceiling panels are suspended from the ceiling accompanied by a branding graphic. A feature wall of Columbus Circle at the back of the space provides a dynamic backdrop and represents the ethos and values of the brand while also celebrating the important location of the office within NYC.

MATERIALS AND COLOR

To aid in wayfinding and in identifying the different space typologies, different colored carpets and acoustic ceiling tiles have been chosen based on color psychology. Blue is only used in focused working spaces while orange is used in energetic meeting spaces such as the work cafe to foster socialization and collaboration.

The monumental stairs feature all five color ways as a shared collaborative but also relaxation area. A private enclave and amphitheater seating are integrated into the monumental stairs to cater to a variety of working styles. Colored wooden elements provide privacy to the study enclave while also elongating the ceiling height.

NORTH SIDE LEARNING CENTER

NORTH SIDE LEARNING CENTER

A redesign for the North Side Learning Center, a local and currently operating community/learning hub catered towards refugees and immigrants is the premise of this design. An aim is established that focuses on honouring the community values that the center already fosters and translating these connections into an identity of place. Through analysis and research, the final design aims to enhance the centers welcoming feel and diverse culture, while also incorporating its need for flexibility.

The arch and its form is used as a recurring design concept throughout the project. The meeting point of two planes at the top of an arch can be directly related to the importance of the learning center. It being a place for the interconnection between an appreciation of the culture of its students and a new integration into the local Syracuse environment.

DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH

Understanding Client and Surrounding Context

Before beginning the design process, research is carried out on the surrounding community that the learning center provides for. Information is gathered that this area of Syracuse is incredibly diverse and that inclusivity and cultural celebration should be prioritized within the final design. Moreover, the building encounters challenges with heat gain through the abundance of east and west glazing. The current layout, with a closed central hallway interferes with the centers need for accessibility, flexibility and wellbeing.

PROGRAMMING AND FLOOR PLANS

Understanding Client and Surrounding Context

The new proposed design aims to promote community and engagement between floors by opening up the floor plate to brighten up the hallway. A new skylight above the opening and operable windows along interior classroom walls allows natural light to enter and increases air circulation throughout the center to provide comfortable working environments for users.

The ground floor is designed to host events run by NSLC as well as other local community members and organizations. The first and second floor consists of classrooms, collaborative spaces and offices that are solely used by NSLC members and students. Flexibility, interaction and community are prioritized in the design to accomodate various people that the center interacts with.
