1. The Transit Market consists of four symbiotic areas: market, maker’s space, fruit farm and community garden. We suggest that the existing market be replaced with an easily disassembled configuration that connects to the new boulevard. It will be a cyclical network within the housing district, enabling residents to collaborate, share and sell assets. It will leverage common activities found within the district, such as gardening, sorting, collecting and farming. The Transit Market imagines different tool-kit combinations to shape spaces that bring common household activities to a communal level.
The new boulevard is a few metres higher than the entrance to the existing market, providing no feasible entry from above. This market is designed to begin at the height of the new boulevard and step down gradually with the natural slope of the site.
2. The Park and Plaza will be the main gathering space for the community. Nest and Branch proposes different configurations for different activities in this area. With the toolkit residents can tailor their surroundings to suit their needs, whether it’s a space for play, performance or shelter. This area also thinks of how the community can encroach on surrounding construction, allowing residents to take back space that is no longer designated for them.
Current conditions on the site area, as well as in the neighbouring communities were assessed to provide inspiration for the tool kit.
