Team point of view
Uploading city is a proposal for the creation of a sustainable market hall that will upload itself over time. It uploads literally by means of solar panels on the roof and figuratively through the new activities that will be developed here. Restructuring traffic and rearranging parking space creates a better-quality public space. This will form an area with more residential qualities. The roof over the public square is designed as a tilted solar plant, which is directly connected to the energy chain of the nearby KEMA Institute for Energy and Sustainability. This creates a market hall that can be used for a wide range of activities (events, markets, performances). The huge roof is an invitation to devise new programs.
