The master plan covers an area of more than 30'000 sqm, and houses both the market and sports fields for basketball, baseball, and soccer. One main challenge was regenerating the deteriorated areas by improving their function and integration through design, location, and orientation. The market plays a fundamental role as an urban catalyst. The “umbrella structures” are configured asymmetrically and are lower on one side, providing passive lighting and natural ventilation systems. All materials were left in their natural condition to allow the building to age in a dignified manner.
