Fruit Market x Roadside Station © INANAMA Architects' Atelier
Set in Chengdu's fruit region, this project introduces a “Market x Station” typology. Inspired by “Michi-no-Eki”(Roadside Station), it merges logistics with retail under an iconic membrane roof that echoes the Longquan Mountains. Utilizing cost-effective greenhouse materials, it proves utilitarian components can yield sophisticated forms. By “theatricalizing” the logistics process, the hub facilitates branding and e-commerce while serving as a resilient spiritual anchor for the rural community. It redefines rural infrastructure as a catalyst for social cohesion and economic sustainability.
