Project description

Develop a flexible modular market behind the iconic church "Nuestra Señora de Loreto".
This project was designed as a first step of a master plan to bring back life to the Loreto area. In this first step, we design some flexible modules that adapt to the necessities of each user, allowed by some adaptable and mobile panels.

Technical information

Within these modules, we find some inverted umbrellas which collect the rain to reutilize it at public restrooms at the back of the project. The flexibility of the market allows us to utilize public space when the market is not in use. All the market is superficial so It can be removed without damaging goverment property.
