Mvrdv proposes vertical market wrapped in productive urban gardens
August 29
Food production, retail and public terraces are stacked within a porous city block.
The proposal rethinks the traditional market as a vertical neighborhood of stalls, kitchens, gardens and community rooms. Large ramps connect each level and allow visitors to move through the building without relying on enclosed circulation cores. Productive terraces grow herbs and vegetables used by vendors below, while open edges bring daylight and ventilation into the deep plan. The project combines food infrastructure with public space.
