As we evolve as a community, society, and civilization, how does the public market typology evolve with us? Does it need to evolve at all?
The typology shown at Eastern Market in Detroit has endured for over a century, its shed structures remaining largely unchanged even as the world around them has changed. Tasked with this site, my intent is not to reject or replicate this legacy, but to extend it.
My market combines the familiar rectangular shed form with a new interior logic of circulation designed to counter the increasing speed of modern life. Through cone-shaped intersections and intentional moments of pause, the project slows movement, invites reflection, and reshapes how people encounter one another and the market itself.
