Marketplaces : Depiction


PHASE 4 DEPICTION


JUNGLE FLOWER MARKET



Marketplaces : The Frame

PHASE 3 THE FRAME



JUNGLE FLOWER MARKET

In the first part, after doing researches and analysis of markets we extract some programs from them.
My four programs are : flowers, shophouses, Frichti and Birchbox. I analysis and search everything we need to make them happen. Then I connect, link them to create a diagram.
The concept of my diagram is to show the integration of four programs into shophouse. Each program is integrated into the shophouse following the “strict” way a shophouse is organise and the three economic sectors : primary (the retrieval and production of raw materials), secondary (the transformation of raw or intermediate materials into goods) and finally tertiary sector (the supplying of services to consumers and businesses).
A shophouse is “a vernacular architectural building type that is commonly seen in areas such as urban Southeast Asia. Shophouses are mostly two or three stories high, with a shop on the ground floor for mercantile activity and a residence above the shop”.
All this helped me to create the organisation of my flower market. I create a architectonic wall in the middle which connects the two parts of the market. The circulation is in diagonal so people circulate everywhere in the market. You can find the idea of inside and out with the help of materiality and also because it’s a very open market.
This is one way to organise the market but it can also expand. Today the shophouses in Bangkok have their groundfloor occupied but the floors are empty so you can imagine to use the floors to expand the market but also to use the rooftops to make a bigger greenhouse to produce more and import less.

Martin Demonchaux / MARKETPLACES / Phase 04

Design proposal: depiction








Martin Demonchaux / MARKETPLACES / Phase 03

Design proposal: the frame

Bangkok flooding, 2011

          According to the history, the canal was the main transportation road for the residents of Bangkok. The project proposes to reactivate this amphibian identity of the city by reconnecting the canals to the mass transportation.

          Connecting the metro to the klong network increases accessibility to public services in order to involve communities. This ensures better distribution, less traffic and therefore pollution by reducing the cost of infrastructure. The project becomes an interface between the water, the communities and the metro system.

          The project function in strata that overlap. The level 0 allows the acceptance of water in the structure by the use of floating platerforms occupied by the functions of boat station with waiting space, information, a boat parking, logistic spaces and the space dedicated to the reception of the floating market.
          The middle layer is one of two between the privatization of spaces dedicated to the community and the floating space. It is a place that by its spatiality allows what can not be predicted and forms a public place that can accommodate sports activities (sepak takraw, gym ...) or the installation of tables on market days.

          The high structure in contrast with the massive appearance of the other layers, evokes the aerial landscape of billboards that draws the skyline of the city. It is porous and light and deploys flexibly by its geometry towards the community or to cross the shore. The structure hosts the community activities (cooking, canning, DIY, music rehearsal room ...). It is built in the image of the city by sedimentation.

Marketplaces
Phrase 2

The first part of  this phrase is an analysis of programs and how much space they require. 
The programs were picked out from both curiosity and importance, under the agenda to seek the understanding of how markets in the present days function. 







The later part of this phrase aims to establish connections between programs analysed earlier to set a starting point for a design phrase later on.

Jeanne Tatin's Exported Domesticity study: Market Analysis

Phase 1



Beirut Souks 



Location: city-center of Beirut, Lebanon
Architect :  Rafael Moneo
Year: 2008
Land Use: Retail - Office - Cultural – Entertainment
Typology: Souk
Height: 2 floors
Surface occupied ≈ 71,903 sqm




Beirut souks are commercial areas in the center of Beirut, Lebanon. They are ones of the largest
shopping areas in Beirut. Historically, the market area was the commercial nerve of the city, and
that until 1975, when the civil war began and the entire district was destroyed. It was fully
rehabilitated by Rafael Moneo after the war. His point was to create a structure that could give to
this place the importance it would have had in the past, and that could receive all those activities
happening in the souks. The project wanted to keep the prewar Hellenistic grid, allowing people to
wander into those long public spaces, which staid open, and connected with surrounding streets.
The double height of the shops and the walls with lookalike stone, made of concrete, fits perfectly
with the old district of Beirut. The zenithal light of the passage gives an own architectural
atmosphere, without being able to assimilate it to what we understand as a building.














Or Tor Kor Market 


Location: Bangkok, Chatuchak district
Architect: Unknown
Year: Unknown
Land Use: Food, textiles, jewelry retail
Typology: Covered market
Height: 1 floor
Surface occupied: 1 hall ≈ 5000 sqm


Or Tor Kor is a fresh market in Chatuchak district of Bangkok. It is known for its fruits and
vegetables, but we can also find there some meat, fishes, clothes, jewelry... Because of its
freshness and its neatness, it is consider by many tourist guides as one of the best fresh markets
in the world. Indeed, the way everything is tidied and well-presented makes it a beautiful place.
Everything is organized and follows the guiding lines made of tiles on the floor: the shops stay in
their assigned place. There is still some deviations: people would let stools or bins in behind the
line. There are three different programs using this place: stalls, air-conditioned boutiques, and
food courts. The three of them use this frame in a different way.














Bo Bae Market



Location Bangkok, along the Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem
Architects None
Year Unknown
Land Use Textile retail and wholesale
Typology Crossing the khlong
Height 1 floor
Surface occupied 6 bridges ≈ 100 sqm
1 market ≈ 78 000 sqm

Bo Bae bridge market is crossing the Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem and connecting Krum Kasem
Rd to the Bo Bae market, which touches the railway. This shows how the market places are
connected to traffics and means of transports. It is the focal point between the road (cars and bus),
the canal (boats, bus-boat) and the railway (trains), but is dedicated to pedestrians. That gives
them a special place on each one of the six bridges. There are three remarkable typologies of
marketplaces. The first one is an uncovered footpath between two covered area, protected by the
wind and the rain by a long tarp. The second one is made of independent stalls that would have
their own coverage. And the last one, is one same tarp that is covering all the whole bridge,
including the passageway.
