China Town Market
China Town Market
The Modern China Town Market will serve as a Translucent screening between the CTA station and the inscrutable neighbourhood context. The market is situated to the south of the crowded intersection and the uncongested street to the north. So as to provide the market carter with breathing room for the mixed personalities. The notion of metamorphosis would highlight the perception of evolving traditional and new shopping values. As a location surrounded by the CTA line and residential area, it will offer a large variety of travellers and commuters. We were attempting to provide the spaces with versatility and transition. Screening will be seen in the form of transparent wall frames, as sequences of shifts, from open to enclosed, kiosk to serene, will be presented throughout the site.

Site plan
Site plan
The site plan depicts the connectivity of the surrounding areas. Since the site includes a CTA station, the neighbours would benefit greatly. With the market serving as the complex’s focal point, it will also have ancillary institutional and recreational elements. The primary goal of this hybrid market is to link multiple activities in one location that will serve as a one-stop shop for daily needs. Our site programs run from east to west and also segregate between public and private spaces. We have highlighted the market areas, transforming it into an indoor and outdoor space that can be approached from both sides of each blocks. Aside from the site, there are various assessable places to visit including the Chinatownn Library and Pui Tak Center, Chinatown square, shopping market etc.
