FOR MY SENIOR THESIS DESIGNED A SUSTAINABLE AND HEALTHY LIVING MARKET. THE MARKET IS LOCATED ON THE DELAWARE RIVER IN THE PEIR 9 BUILDING. THIS MARKET HOLDS DIFFERENT VENDING STATIONS; SOME WHERE YOU CAN PICK UP FRESH BREADS, MEATS, POULTRY, AND PRODUCE AND ALSO A SELECTION OF OTHER VENDORS THAT MAKE FRESH FOODS THAT YOU CAN GRAB AND EAT RIGHT THERE IN THE MARKET. AT THE BACK OF THE MARKET THERE IS A RESTAURANT AND BAR RIGHT ON THE RIVER WHERE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SEATING IS AVAILABLE. THE BAR WRAPS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING AROUND TO THE OUTSIDE HANGING OVER THE WATER. THE MARKET IS DESIGNED TO GIVE VISITORS THE FEELING THEY ARE INSIDE A GARDEN WHERE NATURE IS ALWAYS SURROUNDING THEM. 
 
THE SECOND FLOOR MEZZANINE IS GREENHOUSE GROWING SPACE. FOR THE PLANTS TO GET ENOUGH SUNLIGHT TO GROW, I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE EXTERIOR WITH SAGEGLASS, A GLASS THAT MAGNITIZES TO THE SUN SO SUNLIGHT CAN COME IN BUT REGULATES THE TEMPERATURE. THE MEZZANINE GIVES VISITORS THE CHANCE TO COME AND SEE THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF THE FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND HERBS THAT THEY CAN BUY OR EVEN PUT TOGETHER YOUR OWN BOUQUET OF FLOWERS. 

 

TAKING A GARDEN LANDSCAPE AND INSERTING IT INTO THE PIER USING PATCHWORK AND GARDEN INSPIRATION AS AN ORGANIZATIONAL TOOL.

 

THIS SUSTAINABLE AND HEALTHY LIVING MARKET IS SURROUNDED BY WATER AND SKY AND HAS A UNIQUE WAY OF CONNECTING PEOPLE TO NATURE INSIDE AND OUT. THE MARKET HAS TRANSFORMED INTO MORE THAN JUST A MARKET, IT HAS BECOME A GREENHOUSE, A BEAUTIFUL WINTER GARDEN, THAT IS A DESINATION, NOT JUST SOMEWHERE TO COME AND EAT.
