Project Title: Market Ecology
Site: Castlegate Street, Sheffield, England
This project casts a critical eye on the nature of shopping, its complex ecology, & look to ways to merge the reality of globalisation & the locality of the traditional public market hall. The ubiquity of shopping has stripped cities of their urban identity & cultural character. By refocusing the marketplace back to the city by developing an emphasis no local or ecologically-minded production, one can begin to view the building as a place for civic exchange & community engagement, whilst driving local commerce & cultural identity.
