Alexa Roberts Looking Out Week 16

The Mercado Tirsa de Molina, located in Santiago de Chile and designed by Iglesis Prat Arquitectos replaced an old aggregation of market stalls.  Intended as a new face of the Vega market district, the building is impressively iconic on an apparent shoestring budget.  Inverted pyramidal forms made of perforated (CNC-milled) plywood create a diaphanous roof canopy, spanning between simple vertical columns, which march rhythmically through the open interior.
