Fully
integrated to enhance and use the synergetic possibilities of the different
functions, an arch of 228 apartments will create a large hall which houses 100
market stalls, shops and restaurants, 1,200 parking spaces and an underground
super market.
The
apartments will all have a balcony on the outside and a window to the inside of
the market. Insulation will prevent any unwanted effects.
The 40
meter tall and wide opening of the front and back will be covered with a
flexible suspended glass facade, allowing for maximum transparency and a
minimum of structure. The interior of the arch will display market produce.
