public market | portugal

preliminary studies

study for market extension, including adjacent public spaces and parking organization.

the existing building is kept untouchable and the proposed extension is based on a metallic grid structure where the new program is developed. this structure is understood as green, being at the same time the support for plants and vegetation.

for the outdoor spaces, 2 levels of experiences are generated that resolve the connections with the various entrances and connections to the city and provide access to the new urban park that will start here.
