Super Market was my graduate thesis project at the Harvard GSD with advisor Mark Mulligan. Its site is the Hudson Rail Yards in Manhattan, NY.
The project explores the feasibility of introducing Big Box retail into Manhattan. It examines the nature and juxtaposition of the artificial and constructed ground and attempts to forge a new typology that responds to both ecologic and economic vernacular types.
It's program consists of 5 separate market types (stock market, art market, supermarket, flea market, and farmers' market) that span a continuum from the most abstract and economic to the most concrete and ecologic.
