| dc.description.abstract | "The history of markets in Berlin dates back to the 15th century, when it had only three weekly markets held every Tuesday. In order to address the expansion of Berlin, Industrial Revolution and to cater to a rapidly growing population of the city, more markets were built and by 1860s it had over twenty weekly markets held every Tuesday and Thursday, on the streets. Several problems like questionable hygiene conditions, chaos on streets, high demand prices and dependency on weather led the government to search for better alternatives to tackle the situation. In 1875, the magistrate established a permanent commission to build affordable design plans for fourteen municipal market halls. City building councillor Herman Blankenstein and architect August Lindemann were appointed to design these plans as the project took off in the 1880s. Market halls soon became successful gathering points for each neighborhood. However, due to fierce competition from supermarket chains and destruction during the Second World War, only a few of them survive today. This thesis focuses on one such market hall, Arminius Markthalle (Market Hall X). The rich history of art and culture in the city, as well as the establishment of market halls into historically designated landmarks further forms the layers of the thesis. The research is guided through data from Berlin's monumental preservation authorities, exclusive interviews with the owner of Arminius Markthalle, as well as surveys conducted for artists residing in the city. The design project would be a direct reflection of learnings from the research and offer a plausible solution to the pertinent research question. The design project is an attempt to make this historic landmark culturally relevant today. It intends to adaptively reuse and rejuvenate an existing, preserved building through strategically reprogramming its functions into a Makers' Market. This conceptualized typology of a market creates an inclusive public place and integrates the design functions within, to support local art and artists. This structurally preserved market hall, that spans across an entire city block, turns into a flourishing indoor Makers' Market where artists from different fields of design come together to work, showcase and collaborate. It also provides an opportunity for the city, its tourists, and creative organizations to discover up-and-coming brands." | en |
