Guang-Fu Market / Hostel

Guang-Fu Market is a 30 years old traditional market that vendors gather, locates in the center of the newly developed district right next to the Taipei 101 tower. To meet the modern lifestyle and sanitize quality, I proposed a new complex that has three levels for retails, three levels for a hostel, and a civic plaza in between.

There are three types of rooms. For one, four, and twelve people, and are mostly bunk beds.

To create a view interaction between the indoor and outdoor, you can see activities happen in the tubes from the other tube structure, upper level can see the levels below, the hostel can see the market.

Shortcuts

To encourage people to enter this market, we create a shortcut on the groundfloor by proposing a special layout and add minor entrances on each side to attract potential customers who did not plan to buy food to enter.

Structure

The bottom part is made with concrete while the upper part is vierendeel steel frame.
