Bangkok has 6.9 sq.m. of green public space per capita, 2.1 sq.m. below WHO standard. Most of the public parks are big and inaccessible due to the usual heavy traffic. Small pocket parks in the neighborhood will be more efficient for the city. Because of the past relaxed property taxes, the city holds many empty lands in the prime area. In 2020, the new taxes system encourages empty sites to be utilized commercially.
The main goal of this intervention was to renew the existing 1956 city market, preserving its architectural legacy and expanding it with a roof and a new enclosed wing. All functional layouts were redesigned and new valences were added to help the building reach the demands of today’s standards.
Chinese cities are experiencing unprecedented changes. After about 40 years rapid construction, what follows is the renewal and reconstruction of those prompt construction products. On the one hand, it is to make up for the quality defects caused by speed, and on the other hand, it is to face the dynamic adjustment of rapidly changed daily life. Rapid construction has met people’s basic functional needs, while the current adjustment bears meanings of both function and spirit. Public buildings take a substantial leading role. Relying on upgrading functions and forms, they reconstruct the critical nodes of the city and then bring new changes in a larger area and boost the quality of urban space. The relocation of the Liutan Agricultural Trade Market is a typical improvement experiment, a crucial-livelihood guarantee and a critical step to upgrade and adjust the space quality of the whole Liutan area.
XingHuaDongLi Zuolinyoushe Neighboring Courtyard Market is a new handy service facility for the old XingHuaDongLi Community located in Daxing District, Beijing. XingHuaDongLi Community was built in the 1980s as staff dormitories for the Beijing Chemical Fiber Factory. Like other residential areas constructed in the old days, many of the fundamental facilities aged day by day, making lives inconvenient for the neighbors in the communities. Based on the realistic conditions, the government of Daxing District took the opportunity of organic renewal of old communities and built this handy service facility from the view of serving and benefiting residents, strengthening weaknesses surrounding “Seven Properties” &” Five Senses ”. As for functional configurations, fruit and vegetable stores, laundry, drugstores, and restaurants were set up considering the high percentage of old people in the community. The facilities will be further improved and adjusted to the needs of neighboring residents, making it a new service center for an old community for real.

The Paseo la Plaza has always captivated us locals for its enigmatic urban space, whose language empathizes with the collective imaginary of the heterogeneous nature of a city, especially one like Buenos Aires. As its name suggests, the prevailing emptiness, air, and vegetation literally illustrate the identity of the square. Its alleys of cobblestones surround the theaters and each building has an identity that clearly emulates an old village. It is in this unique attribute so valued by the consumer that we analyze how we can integrate a new identity. An identity that should keep “Paseo la Plaza: The Square” as the main protagonist and “Manduca Market” as its necessarily integrated market.
Located in Brasília, between the Mané Garrincha National Stadium and the Nilson Nelson Gymnasium, on the Monumental Axis, the Mané Market project reuses the roof structure of an existing building. The market is a 6 year long temporary installation that will exist until the definitive installation of the future Sports Complex of Brasília at that location, whose construction is scheduled to begin in 2026. Until then, the objective is to take advantage of the existing infrastructure on the site and transform it into a market focused on gastronomy. The existing building was used during the 2007 Pan American Games. However, after that event, its space had been empty and unused for several years.
Between two banks and in the extension of the town hall, the project constitutes the link between the two parts of the village.

Regarding the preservation of the historic Hsin Fu market, the project aims to arrive at an understanding of its existence through the building design and its physical condition. The Hsin Fu market built in 1935 in the Wanhua district, the oldest district of Taipei, was designed based on “Form follows Function”. The horseshoe plan provides a loggia space as the ones found in the typology of public plazas where traditional markets used to be set up. From its original design, the HsinFu market is strikingly different from the traditional market, usually more permeable.
