Plaza de mercado San Rafael: centro de interacción y cohesión para la recuperación de memoria e identidad

Urban Farm DB summary

An architecture thesis project (Universidad Santo Tomás, Colombia, 2018) proposes an intervention at the San Rafael market building that preserves the existing structure while introducing spaces for urban gardens (huertos urbanos) inside the building to activate agricultural development, alongside promoting interior and exterior commerce as goods and produce flow directly into the market. The design aims to preserve the building's history and its low-rise residential and commercial surroundings, including a wood-clad facade treatment, without reporting empirical results.
