The project faces one of the most important zones of Sevilla’s old town, located between the pedestrian shopping area already renewed down south and a popular area not yet refurbished up north. The historical Encarnación municipal market, also, with an uneasy situation and low hygienic standards, is the social function that has to resolve this urban site. The project maintains one of the rare empty spaces inside the densely builded old town, inventing a mainly buried market. The new space resulting consist of three levels: the square level, given back to the city as a three dimensional continuous surface; the underlying market level, directly accessibile from the square and from the future underground station; the further underlying level with the archeological remains, transformed in hystorical musem of Sevilla. location architects contracting authority year | |
