UNDERGROUND MARKET

2018-02

In an unprivileged neighborhood of Bogotá an incredible market was developed which includes approximately 150 merchants in the two main basements.
In the underground floor there is a supermarket for food, flowers and other services, on the first floor there is a square that  is composed of a park with various elements that promote social gathering and the appropriation of space, also to connect the edges of the river, it had several spaces for commerce and a versatile street food area. The last basement was designed as an area for storage, waste processing and parking.

The entry of light and ventilation is given through the roof that has different angles.

The mission of the market is to promote local commerce, encourage inhabitants of different parts of the city to share and know these historically marginalized sectors, connect and revive the edges of the river and promote the social encounter of its inhabitants, with spaces for courses and educational programs related to the art of cooking and food processing.
