Description
After opening in 1985 as a publically operated agro-fisheries wholesale market, for 31 years the Garak Market has led domestically in wholesale distribution and is the world’s largest single wholesale market. However, in addition to its facilities being old and unsafe, the structure of the facilities and transport circulation are an obstacle to efficient distribution, such as the shipping of palettes and the mechanization of loading and unloading. Unable to flexibly respond to the ever-changing trade system, revitalization of the market through the modernization of its facilities is urgently needed.
Garak Market will be reborn as an advanced distribution system by sequentially improving the run-down facilities and old distribution system according to a phased development plan. Accordingly, the purpose of the design is the realization of an eco-friendly wholesale market through a creative design proposal which will allow for the building of a future wholesale market capable of flexibly adapting to changes in the distribution environment.
