About the Project

The LongWharf Marketplace is a multilevel institution where community and productivity collaborate. The building includes (from top to bottom) a vegetarian restaurant and green roof gathering space, a large marketplace filled with vendors selling wares made of recycled material brought into the buildings waterside receiving dock, an outdoor community garden, and an underground walkway where visitors can connect to the world beyond through a paneled glass sea wall. The building aims to link diversity and ecology, allowing visitors the opportunity to become more Eco-friendly through a fun an educational experience.

COTE SPREADSHEET

This site, Located in Boston, Massachusetts, is a community-based farmers market that aims to promote community, diversity, and sustainability. As it is based on a “seaweed” structural motif, the building takes its kit of parts (hold-fast, stem, and pod) and develops them in a tangible way that is accessible to all. The site is adaptable and stays relevant because of the activity inside of it. Recycled materials are in abundance because they are used for marketplace wares, the building’s insulation, and exterior facades. Because of its proximity to the ocean, the building filters its own water and uses a hydraulic system to renew energy for the vegetarian restaurant located on the top floor. Building costs are reduced because of the durability of materials chosen, as most in this building are locally sourced and given a second life with refurbishment. Finally, Carbon emissions are reduced due to the abundance of greenery around the site and below the water, where the seaweed farm lies.

WELLNESS

Glass Nana-walls are inserted around the building to allow heat and light into the building in order to make interiors feel light and airy.

COMMUNITY

The site is programmed to be a Farmers Market, with diverse vendors selling recycled goods brought to the site by boat.

STORM-WATER AND IRRIGATION

All water used by the site is run through a filtration system and reused by efficient hydraulic pumps.

ENERGY REDUCTION

Solar Panels are present to absorb solar rays and produce energy for the building.

ECOLOGY AND LANDSCAPE

Green roofs and indigenous plant species are planted underwater and around the site to reduce its carbon footprint and make the space healthier.

RESOURCES

Almost all Resources and materials used for site building are locally sourced and refurnished for adaptable reuse.

DESIGN FOR EQUITABLE COMMUNITIES

The Longwharf Marketplace is a place where diversity, sustainability, and culture converge. The building is made of locally sourced materials and helps to lower its emissions through a system of green roofs and an expertly cultivated Brown Algae (ascylophylum nodosum) farm. The building promotes inclusivity by ensuring that all products made are affordable and are crafted by hand using recycled materials brought to the building’s lower docks by local residents of Boston, who frequent public transportation and travel by bike. The building is linked to nature in every way, starting with its structural ordering, and ending with its seaweed farm.

ECOLOGY TAB

Because my project is located with such a close proximity to the ocean, there are several opportunities to apply ecological strategies to the building that will make it more sustainable and resilient in the face of climate change. These strategies sprouted from the observation that the site is home to a very populous family of brown algae, which is an excellent plant that I use to promote biodiversity and habitat conservation, and to reduce the site’s carbon footprint through carbon sequestration. Most of the site’s ecological advantages are located underwater (with the exception of the green roofs and some native plantings) due to the constraints of the area, which include frequent tourist travel and surrounding hardscapes.
