As it is now, Meiselmarkt is experienced as a fractured building — a vibrant market below, an empty mall above, and housing stacked on top.
The intervention centers on the market’s natural rhythms — the daily expansion and contraction of stalls as they open and close, and the ongoing negotiation of boundaries that give the space its undeniable charm.
Three key moments — the entry passage, the market floor, and the kitchen — were studied through cameras placed at precise viewpoints to capture visual and spatial flows. Digital screens backdrop each scene, extending these views and blending physical and virtual layers, resulting in a truly dynamic physical model. These precise view-cones enabled close-up study and guided targeted cuts, additions, and merges to ultimately rework the rigid borders of Meiselmarkt into a more lively and accessible space.
