Influences

Form and Geometry

Brockholes Visitors Centre, 2011, Adam Khan Architects. The strong rooflines give a clear presence across the water, whilst their varying forms tesselate well together.

Phaeno Science Centre, 2005, Zaha Hadid Architects. The project will look to emulate this unique elevated form, with its striking surface articulation.

10 Hills Place, 2009, Amanda Levete Architects. Organic window projections flow along this facade. The market modules will incorporate adaptive envelopes to respond to the changing climate and user comfort.


Bridges and Promenades

Olympic Park Central Bridge, 2011, Heneghan Peng Architects. Sinuous forms weave across the canal below, flowing into the landscape. The market will provide a 'branched' promenade that links with neighbours and the surrounding dockside.

EDP Cultural Centre, 2014, Amanda Levete Architects. This centre sits within an undulating promenade, animating the waterfront. The market will aim to create a multi-level structure that engages users with varying spaces and vantage points.

The High Line, 2008, James Corner Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The rejuvenation of this elevated former metro track demonstrates the landscaping potential for the project site. The market will incorporate vegetation where possible, to soften the existing industrial context.


Waterborne Elements

Water Taxi, New York City. The market stalls will be floating modules that can move to other similar locations across Rotterdam. They will reference modern boat designs to produce viable structures.

Waterworks Drift, 2009, NEX Architecture. This project "aims to break down the barrier created by the canal's edge", with timber monocoque roofed barges enabling multiple activities along the canal.

Deal Pier Cafe, 2008, Niall McLaughlin Architects. A replacement for the previous cafe, this timber structure welcomes visitors offshore.


Materials and Colour

Deal Pier Cafe, 2008, Niall McLaughlin Architects. The project will use sustainable and low carbon resources as a priority, with timber also having a warm aesthetic which will weather well over time into the nautical context of the dock.

Barcelona Market, 2004, EMBT. A strong colour palette will create a clear identity for the market, and will be used structurally to guide users along the promenades to the various stall types and activities.

Motril Footbridge, 2011, Guijón Arquitectura. Lighting will be key in animating the market after dark and drawing users along the waterfront, which currently lies abandoned at night.
