WALKING DOWN AN ENDLESS GRID OF AISLES IN A
SUPERMARKET, COMPELS ONE TO HURRY THROUGH
THE TASK OF BUYING FOOD. BEFORE SUPERMARKETS
AND INDUSTRIALIZATION, COMMUNITIES PURCHASED
THEIR GOODS AT THE LOCAL MARKET. THE ENERGY
AND EXCITEMENT OF FISHERMAN YELLING,
VENDORS BARTERING, AND PEOPLE GOSSIPING
WAS INVIGORATING. THE SOCIAL VIBRANCE AND
COMMUNITY NETWORK OF HISTORIC MARKETS HAS
LARGELY BEEN LOST DUE TO THE CONVIENCE AND
CAPITALISTIC MINDSET OF SUPERMARKETS.
THIS THESIS IS AN EXPLORATION OF THE
OPPORTUNITY ARCHITECTURE HAS IN REDEFINING
THE MARKET BY IMPLEMENTING IDEAS ABOUT
THRESHOLD AND TRANSITION COUPLED WITH
THE PROPOSITION OF GATHERING PEOPLE AND
PROGRAMS. WITH THE SUPPORTING ANALYSIS OF
THE HISTORIC BOROUGH MARKET IN LONDON,
I IMPLEMENTED THESE IDEAS ABOUT MARKET
IN MISSOULA, MONTANA. THROUGHOUT THIS
EXPLORATION, I INVESTIGATED THE ROLE LIGHT AND
MOVEMENT PLAYED IN THE DESIGNING OF A WALL
AND HOW CENTRALITY CAN DEVELOP RULES ABOUT
CONCENTRIC AND RADIAL STRUCTURES. / Master of Architecture / THE INDUSTRIALIZATION OF FOOD AND RISE OF SUPERMARKETS ALLOWED FOR CONVENIENCE AND EFFICIENCY BUT SACRIFICED HUMAN CONNECTION. THIS THESIS ANALYZES THE HISTORIC BOROUGH MARKET OF LONDON, ENGLAND TO UNDERSTAND ARCHITECTURE'S ROLE IN REDEFINING THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE. BY IMPLEMENTING IDEAS ABOUT THRESHOLD AND TRANSITION COUPLED WITH THE PROPOSITIONS OF GATHERING PEOPLE AND PROGRAMS, ARCHITECTURE CAN TRANSFORM OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE MARKETPLACE.
