The 3 main bridge sections are placed next to each other, 2 parts will function as market halls and one part will be converted into a greenhouse using greenhouse foil. The Eisenbahnmarkt references indoor city markets as found in Barcelona and Linz's own Südbahnhof Markt. The entire sections are used without the need for extra structural support and the vendors can utilize the greenhouse to produce fresh products for the market without the need for transportation.
Eisenbahnmarkt
The Donaulände public park
Market area, suitable to sell fresh produce from the adjacent greenhouse but also for seasonal markets and flea markets all year round
The Market building consists of the 3 main bridge sections
Google maps for the location overview
Good idea and corresponds to the contest requirements: steel parts of the bridge stay visible . The part of Idea about greenhouse is ( IMHO) not brilliant: old steel frames do not like moisture .
Thank you, good point about the moisture, this particular section might need an extra coating and the greenhouse itself can be built within the bridge section instead of wrapping it in to minimize the exposure.
Good idea but i would work on the placing. Maybe location 2 could be better. At location 1 there is too less infrastructure to implement it (no transportation system.....)
Thanks for your comment mikaR. I agree location 2 could be a good fit as well but I feel it would be too cramped. At location 1 there's more space around the building, there could be an orchard next to the greenhouse for additional market produce for example.
Simple and effective, as you propose an alternative market concept where production is local and in proximity, it could be nice to quickly amplify the idea in written or in urban plan, pointing the green areas around.
Thanks for your reply, I will try and add a small urban plan before the deadline today!
Congratulations on being one of the finalists in the jury selection!
Thanks svpribyl, and congrats to you too for being among them!
