Space of marketplace - Space for marketplace

The formation, functioning and development of marketplaces are underlined by economic motivations and therefore are related to urban economics. The political transition and market transformation in Poland during 1990s, led to emergence of particular form of marketplace. The main interest of this inquiry is a distinctive type of permanent marketplace, which forms specific built environment in contrary to seasonal or temporary markets. Those marketplaces in Warsaw tend to disappear nowadays especially due to increasing land value and investment perspectives. The current tendency is to completely liquidate bazaars or replace them with homogenous market halls that usually lack aesthetic and spatial quality. Yet the urban marketplaces proved to be important for local communities. They constitute a vibrant public space and they are embedded in the city’s history. Moreover, the farmer’s markets are important part of local food systems and they enhance urban economy. The aim of the project is to propose a solution for new type of structure housing indoor/outdoor marketplace, which would suite the needs of contemporary city of Warsaw. The research will provide specific information on program and features to be implemented into design.
