The new South Gate Market pronounced ‘Nanmen Market’ in Mandarin, is situated on the busy Roosevelt Road. Being referred to as the 'the Heart of Taipei' by Taiwan media, it integrates a big MRT interchange station at the B2 level, seamlessly connecting with many Taipei citizens' daily commutes. Nested in the center of a crowded old town, part of the design challenge was to constrain the massing within site boundaries while weaving it into the existing urban tapestry. This led to the adoption of a solid, imposing massing strategy, complemented by a facade that alternates between dark sienna and glass, creating a dialogue between the building and its historic surroundings.
At the corner, the setback fa?ade above the entrance square features cantilevered balconies, creating an interwoven multi-level relationship among food, market, and pedestrian activities. On the ground floor, the multi-level projecting arcades along the street, the extensive curtain wall, and open spaces introduce comfortable northern natural light. The design provides the urban streets with a glimpse at the market’s vitality, attracting a younger demographic, while customers inside can enjoy panoramic views of the cityscape through the curtain walls.
South Gate Market prioritizes a user-friendly design by offering a sanitized and accessible experience, addressing the negative impression associated with traditional Asian markets. Designed with the busy marketplace atmosphere in mind, where cooking generates considerable smoke and odor, the new South Gate Market directs filtered exhaust to the rooftop for discharge. It also incorporates extensive storage spaces and an efficient drainage system. The market stall signage boards feature fonts in warm tones and a downward tilt, enhancing visibility for the primary customer demographic, which is older individuals.
South Gate Market's renewal brings modernity, vibrancy, and accessibility to Taipei, merging tradition with innovation for an engaging urban experience.

借鉴抄袭还是不谋而合?建筑界也需要设立一个“315维权日”吗?设计界的“懒人操作” 借鉴or抄袭? Ctrl C、Ctrl V就能过关的“创意火花” 小心是引“火”上身! 无论是“局部借鉴”、“概念挪用” 还是“整体模仿” 都是对原创设计师劳动成果的侵犯 无论建筑师的咖位大小 一旦涉及抄袭 都需承担相应的风险
