Vegetable Market is set to offer users local produce in a modern facility that itself embraces nature. Covering 80,000 m2


A


iming to reinvent the perception of wholesale food markets in Taiwan, the new Tainan Xinhua Fruit and


, with an 11,510 m2


terraced and walkable green roof accessible from ground level on its eastern corner, the open-air market is intended not only to be an important hub for Tainan’s food supply chain – containing 180 market plots alongside the relevant facilities – but also to serve as a destination for meeting, socialising, and taking in views of the surrounding landscape. With “no boundary between building and landscape,” the building is designed to be


used as a platform for locals to meet, as well as to bring local produce into the area in a more sustainable way. It also sits in a location with greater accessibility than its predecessor.


Inspired by the growing attention being paid in the area to food and its sourcing, the project also aims to teach adults and children alike about food safety and production, showing people how they can grow their own produce, as well as where the food they purchase comes from. This innovative and nature-inspired design was completed by Dutch architectural firm MVRDV, in collaboration with LLJ and Wui Yi Ling Architects. Construction is already well underway, with completion expected in September 2021.
