Design Manifesto - Gertie Leong Hei Li
The project design manifesto is to establish an art-related, green-connecting market hall within Anderston to tackle the problems of lack of greeneries, to promote art and cultural aspect within the site, and to tackle the shortage and fragile commercial aspect within the site in order to convenient the residents and thus, to vitalise and boost the energy within Anderston.
The Ramp Entrance - public access directly to the market, restaurant, garden spaces, and new public park - Fiona Wylie
The site rests on a plinth that is 3.5m above the main street level, and has an existing ramped entrance. To continue the pedestrian walkway in Tradeston's proposed new masterplan, people can directly access the market and gardens without having to go through the whole building. To promote more exterior access, as the site ramps up, so does the building, with a nature path. The nature path wraps around the building, providing direct access from that side of the building to the restaurant, the market seating, the growing areas, and the main greenhouse, all while continuing a green journey to experience the building and create views over the historical wall to the rest of Glasgow.

The U-Pick Greenhouse - Fiona Wylie
Off of the public market space, there is a dedicated greenhouse where people can pick their own berries, right off of the plants. This promotes a level of transparency within indoor growing, and allows the community to get hands-on knowledge about where their food comes from.
