MODIFYING MODERN FOOD MARKETS

As the chosen topic for a capstone project, ‘Modifying Modern Food Markets’ addresses the shortcomings of popular ‘trendy’ urban food markets emerging in metropolitan cities. While inspired by traditional public markets of centuries past, these new iterations often lack the community aspects essential to the market experience. The capstone focuses on an abandoned 19th-century rotunda near Luxembourg City Gare as the site, aiming to design a communityspecific market that revitalizes the surrounding area and provides a space for gathering and exchange.

The rise of these trendy urban food markets often serves as an early indication of retail gentrification. Unfortunately, these modern iterations overlook the impact that public markets have on a city’s cultural diversity. They tend to lack in capturing the community value and social placemaking of traditional markets. Despite their aim to provide a dynamic dining experience, many of these spaces are designed to cater to specific demographics, isolating individuals who rely on public markets for socialization. Research on literature reviews and precedent studies revealed four key components essential to consider when designing a modern food market that caters to all.

North Access

The site for the modern food market (Rotondes 2) is an abandoned locomotive rotunda built in the 19th century. The shape of the building provides an exciting opportunity for circular circulation. The main issue identified is its accessibility.

The program revolves around community activities, emphasizing gathering spaces that promote interaction. With a height of fifteen meters, the rotunda allows for an added floor plate (12), accessed via spiraling stairs (11) and a new entryway (14). This entryway can be reached through a walkway leading to the north access street, serving as an eye-catching entry point to address the site’s complexity and create an inviting entrance to the market, attracting visitors. The second floor is dedicated to local community studios (15) and seating (16), while the ground floor accommodates market vendors stalls (7), a community event space (9) and the community kitchen (8). The exterior is treated to be an outdoor plaza to be used in the summer for local events. Building Shell

On the ground floor, the vendor stalls are centrally located and visible from the entry, allowing for immediate access. The stalls follow the circular shape of the building, creating a clear circulation path within the market. The curvilinear and organic form of the stalls facilitates movement. Event spaces are strategically placed both on the exterior and interior, ensuring their usability throughout the year.

The second-floor plate is divided into three varying “islands”, creating a cascading effect of various spaces. The floor plate covers only a portion of the surface area to allow for openings, fostering visual connections between the ground floor and the second floor. Accessibility to the floor is facilitated through stairs and an elevator, providing access to all of the “islands”. All the seating provided offers views out onto the market floor.

The center of the market is expressed through a large-scale timber fanning structure that accentuates the rotunda and creates dynamic seating for visitors. The structure is broken down into three separate parts, allowing for meandering between the timber elements and providing structural support for the ‘islands’ on the second floor.

At the heart of designing a community-focused modern food market is responding to the cultural setting and fostering local involvement within the surrounding area. To achieve this, research was conducted on the surrounding neighborhoods , Gare + Bonnevoie, where the market is located. Compared to other Luxembourg city municipalities, Gare + Bonnevoie exhibit a much larger range of diversity, reflected in the percentage of foreigners and the number of nationalities. This diversity is also evident through the various supermarket stores in the area, each catering to and acknowledging the needs of their local community.

In order to create a more engaging cultural display—going beyond merely hanging a flag—the vendor stalls are designed to accommodate various cultural fabrics with motifs, allowing vendors to personalize their spaces. Additionally, the stalls are designed at a lower profile/scale to encourage connection and conversation between visitors and vendors. They can be approached from all sides, eliminating distinct user zones and promoting ease of use to facilitate involvement.

Recessing entries and opening up the surrounding area around the market allows the building to be used as a local resource and community hub for a variety of uses. The exterior community event space functions as a stage in conjunction with the amphitheater steps, serving as seating for outdoor events, with the rotunda as an exciting backdrop.

RECYCLING LANE

With the overarching goal of promoting cleanliness in parks and fostering neighborhood engagement through communal recycling, ‘Recycling Lane’ addresses issues in Allen Gardens, such as irresponsible littering and the absence of a community environment. Developed through an ethnographic lens, the project incorporates creative mapping and interviews with locals to grasp the city conditions of Brick Lane and its potential gentrification threat. The proposal features a park recycling installation designed to stimulate community involvement, responsibility, and immersion, while considering the needs of both locals and tourists to Brick Lane.

Taking inspiration from Brick Lane and its aerial view, initial designs for the interactive recycling installation are generated. Emulating the form of the buildings, geometric boxes serve as seating or recycling bins. From large to small, these boxes dissolve into smaller shapes and forms, enhancing the entry point by reducing their scale.

USER/AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE ANALYSIS

The recycling containers are designed with interaction in mind, deliberately placed among the seating rather than being separated. Glass openings, providing a view of their interior serve to clearly identify their purpose and goal, encouraging greater initiative against littering. Additionally, their scale is reduced to make them more approachable.

SECONDARY AUDIENCE Local Park Users

The design can serve as a local site for waste disposal or a community space with seating for park users. Its positioning does not detract from the park’s original function PRIMARY AUDIENCE Tourists

The engaging features of the design will encourage responsible waste disposal by tourists visiting Brick Lane and spending time in Allen Gardens

NORTH SIDE LEARNING CENTER

With a real-world client, this project focuses on redesigning a local community center called the ‘North Side Learning Center,’ which offers English language classes for refugees and immigrants. The project, intended to commence construction within the next five years, was undertaken in groups of four, covering concept development to the construction document phase. It involved monthly site visits, client meetings and presentations. The design’s purpose is to create a comfortable and inviting learning environment that meets the needs of NSLC students and staff.

Beyond demographic studies, site studies are also conducted. The pre-existing building, dating back to the late 60s, is not ADA accessible. Upon entry, one encounters an immediate split level, necessitating the ascent of flights of stairs to access the ground floor or the first floor. Additionally, most of the glazing is oriented lengthwise north/south, primarily along the classrooms. Client interviews revealed that the center grapples with air circulation issues and heat gain during the summer months. Hence, two crucial factors needing improvement were identified: accessibility and the creation of a comfortable working environment.

The layout lacks diversity in space usage, as the community event space has no capacity to be separated into different functions for various events occurring at the same time.

By adding curtains and arched openings, the community space can be easily reconfigured, allowing for flexible division into different zones to accommodate a variety of uses.

Accessibility for all is constrained by the need to use stairs. The layout is straightforward, featuring a dominant hallway that obstructs air circulation and light into the space.

Opening the hallway and adding windows to classrooms helps create a sense of place, while also facilitating improved air circulation and allowing more light to enter the hallway.

Like the first floor, the design of the second floor lacks a communal personality due to its layout. The single classroom layout does not accommodate various students and their learning styles.

Opening up the floor plate, and adding a skylight above, increases air circulation and creates a community feel. The curved walls and added library provide exciting learning spaces.

The innovative design on the ground floor centers around movable curtains that create distinct zones, addressing diverse needs within the center and cultivating a dynamic environment. Embracing flexibility, the curtains along the hallway adapt to accommodate smaller gatherings, workshops, and additional classrooms (Layout 3). The curtains to the prayer space and enrichment program can be drawn to facilitate larger community events (Layout 1). This multifunctional curtain system allows NSLC to customize the ground floor according to their specific requirements and size.

LOGIC+ PATTERN+ CRAFT+

By employing a logical process of exploration and extraction, an engaging spatial installation is crafted, drawing inspiration from both the visual and performative qualities of porcupine quills. Image samples of local flora and fauna undergo pattern exploration, color theory, and three-dimensional iterations, delving into natural forms and their potential influence on the design of interior spaces. The result is a thought-provoking, three-dimensional installation, evolving from a two-dimensional image sample through a methodical design process.

With the aim of introducing students to the concepts of biophilia and biomimicry and exploring their potential integration into design, the project focuses

on selecting nine cultural or biological samples that showcase forms or features of a desired geographical region. Through various stages of manipulation

and exploration using both analog and digital tools, these nine samples evolve from twodimensional representations into three-dimensional concepts for a spatial installation.

This logical formfinding process is continued through ten additional operations. Initially, analog operations, such as hatching and stippling, are performed and then further explored with digital tools. For digital exploration, Illustrator and Photoshop effects are applied to the samples, initiating the formation of interesting patterns.

Utilizing the Birchbark Box as a reference, the details of the ten black-andwhite operations become apparent. Each operation highlights distinctive motifs and patterns, derived from a cultural sample of a textile crafted by Indigenous Americans through the process of folding porcupine quills.

The next operation involves integrating color through the introduction of color theory and the color wheel. Colors are extracted from the nine samples using specific schemes and harmonies related to their placement on the color wheel. Two black-and-white operation samples are selected. Utilizing Illustrator, the samples are colored using the previously extracted color schemes. Observations are made on new patterns and motifs. analogous

Comparing color schemes using Lake Superior Agate as an example, it becomes evident that certain color combinations stand out more than others. For instance, the complementary color scheme is more eye-catching, while the monochromatic scheme is less noticeable.

23


Moving from 2D to 3D, the next phase involves envisioning the samples as threedimensional forms. The analogous and monochromatic color samples are selected for manipulation.

Utilizing a combination of Illustrator and SketchUp, forms are extracted.

To compare colored with b&w, one b&w sample is also manipulated.

Emphasis is placed on avoiding an outward push of the pattern but rather on playing with the composition.

Integrating a wireframed effect on illustrator, the forms are outlined in 3D.


When enlarged, it becomes evident that even though the operations originate from the same sample, the Petoskey Stone appears strikingly different in 3D as well as 2D, due to the various phases and manipulation processes that were carried out.

Transitioning from digital tools, the samples are explored through model-making. Instead of constructing models based on visual qualities, original samples are researched to discover plant, mineral, or cultural behavioral characteristics that are integrated into model composition.

The bark of the aspen tree possesses unique qualities that enable it to thrive even during the winter when other tree species are dormant. Beneath the thin white outer bark layer is a green photosynthetic layer, allowing the tree to generate energy, layers and sugars for growth. Quaking Aspen Model

To facilitate the dispersion of its seeds and promote the growth of more plant colonies, the wild lupine employs a mechanism where it explodes. Ejecting the seeds with a considerable force, this force generates tension within the pods containing the seeds, eventually causing them to split into two. Wild Lupine Model

Petoskey Stones are formed from Hexagonaria coral, a sea creature with miniature tentacles that fossilized during a geological event.

Turtlehead plants exhibit an ordered composition, with lance-shaped leaves evenly positioned throughout the stalk in a specific organized arrangement.

This sea creature possessed the unique ability to clone, divide, and bloom into thousands of repeated clones spread across the sea floor.

As the plant grows in height, each new growth rotates 90 degrees from its opposite or subsequent leaf, ensuring an even dispersal of leaves.

Out of the 5 models, one is revisited and chosen for development based on feedback. With the aim of creating a modular design that could be repeated, the birchbark box model has been selected. The final model varies as the ‘sticks’ are now anchored to a platform. initial model sketch

While this sample is an indigenous american textile, it is made by folding multiple porcupine quills to develop an intricate pattern. For defensive purposes, porcupine quills contain overlapping backward-facing barbs. Once embedded into tissue, they are difficult to remove. Birchbark Box Model

25



Before immersing into the design of a spatial installation depicting the chosen sample and model, a 1’ by 2’ box is crafted to explore repetition, arrangement, and scale. Following a similar approach to the sample operations, the module’s repetition is carried out to represent the qualities and characteristics of porcupine quills. Two modules are crafted—one with overlapping ‘barbs’ (created by indents in the cookie sticks) and another with simple barbs. The modules are arranged alternately. These modules are attached to both the roof and base of the box, creating an ‘overlapping’ and ‘lodging’ quality that resembles quills being inserted into the skin. A step-by-step instructive illustration is presented on the left page, to easily recreate the box and the modules.

26



Having constructed a module and box, these elements now guide the design of the installation. Although the actual module’s height is approximately 6”, sketches explore various scales, depicting the human experience if the module were at different heights. Despite the absence of a specific site or space for the installation, engagement and interaction remain crucial. Returning to digital software, the module is recreated in Rhino3D at a larger scale, surpassing the height of an average person. The installation is centered around representing the porcupine quill as it is ‘lodged’ into the skin. Each of the six modules features ‘quills’ that progressively go deeper as you walk through them. On one side, the ‘quills’ are smooth and clear, while the ‘barbed’ side is spikey and dynamic.

FOOD AND MOTION

Through the establishment of a new culinary market, ‘Salt City Market,’ in downtown Syracuse, this project draws inspiration from the concept of introducing Syracuse locals to exciting new culinary experiences. With a selected foodway centered around Vietnamese cooking and a historically and culturally relevant site along the ‘Erie Canal,’ ‘Food and Motion’ is conceptualized—a restaurant that seamlessly integrates the dynamic and street food approach of Vietnamese cooking into a unique dining experience that is site relevant.

RE-IMAGINING VIETNAMESE CULINARY TRADITIONS IN SYRACUSE NEW YORK

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE + CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Before delving into the design of the restaurant, thorough research is conducted on the ‘Erie Canal,’ the building site (Smith Restaurant Supply Building), and the current state of Vietnamese dining in Syracuse. An interview with the ‘Vietnamese Community of Syracuse’ revealed that the majority of Vietnamese establishments are situated in the north, separated from the rest of the

Site Location city by Highway 81. In an effort to broaden the influence of Vietnamese culinary traditions across Syracuse, the ‘Smith Restaurant Supply Building,’ chosen as the site, is conveniently located downtown. Furthermore, the building’s historical connection to the former ‘Erie Canal’ inspires a design concept that seamlessly integrates the history of Syracuse with that of Vietnamese street food.

Vietnamese Street Life

A waterway active during the 19th century, the Erie Canal played a crucial role in transporting inland goods to larger cities through the use of canal boats.

Situated along the former canal, the building served as a point for loading restaurant supplies onto canal boats. These boats would stop, load their supplies, and then continue their journey.

This type of movement and speed bears a strong resemblance to that of Vietnamese street food—people stopping at vendors, buying something to eat, and then continuing on.

SITE STUDY AND OBSERVATIONS While the designated commercial area for the project is situated on S Townsend Street, the majority of the building is allocated for residential apartments. Positioned right under the raised highway 81 and along Erie Blvd East (formerly the historical Erie Canal), both renowned for their significant

traffic and constant activity, the design embraces rather than resists this surrounding high movement. Visitors will enter from E Water Street, experience the restaurant, and exit on the Erie Blvd East side, establishing a one-way circulation path on the ground floor with a constant flow of movement throughout.

OVERALL CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

SPATIAL STUDY MODELS

BLOCK DIAGRAMS AND INITIAL AXON LAYOUT

As the space spans two floors, the ground floor immerses visitors in the rush of street food, while the second floor offers insight into Vietnamese tea culture. In contrast to the fast-paced nature of street food, tea culture emphasizes relaxation. With a slower pace of movement compared to street food, the two experiences are intentionally separated by floor.

To explore initial ideas of the concept, paper study models have been created. One potential idea, paying respects to street food, is to incorporate interior and exterior counters for food pick-up. The paper model also delineates the different circulation paths on each floor.

Initial ideas are developed to create a programmatic scheme identifying spaces and their locations. For vertical movement, an elevator is provided on the interior, and additional stairs are constructed on the exterior, as the pre-existing stairs are only accessible to residents living in the building.

FRONT TERRACE PERGOLA As the entrance faces south and includes an exterior terrace, a sun study is conducted to regulate sunlight. A pergola structure is designed, initiated on the exterior and replicated on the interior, to manage sunlight and glare. The beams not only block sunlight on the exterior but also disperse light, creating dynamic and interesting shadows on the interior. To honor the building’s history on the exterior, architectural features, apart from the added pergola beams, remain unchanged rather than modified.
