Entry Description

Sunlight Market is a transitional arrangement to meet local demand of fresh food. It is an architectonic intervention that reintegrates an underutilized traffic island back to local urban fabric. MiC was adopted to enhance efficiency and quality. Inspired by the vanishing stilt house and street market, an irregular skyline formed by ceiling panels and inward looking passageway flanked with modular units were introduced to create a new interpretation of the alleyway in old markets. Green elements were also integrated into the “breathing space” of the market to vitalize the neighborhood.
