Past - Workshop 1
Past
Evolution
Spontaneous
Today, many disregard the food and products as lacking authenticity and
quality through trade being mainly focused towards the stereotype tourist.
This change has mainly happened throughout the past ten years. The market
has and is currently experiencing a generation swap, where traditional trade
families are discontinuing trade. This has possibly also been the leading force
to the bric-a-brac stores evading more and more space among traditional
stalls. Also, there has not been any selecting of sellers, but this could change in
the near future according to a representative of Tukkutori. In the wake of the
tourism strategy development and the new food tourism strategy, The Market
Square is evidently an important crossroads.

Present
Whats in there?
Mapping the colours of the existing buildings around the Market Square
highlights the challenge in responding to the surroundings. Many of the
buildings are protected and the colours will not be altered. The current colours
of the Market Square contrast the colours of the surrounding infrastructure
strikingly.
Present
Whats in there?
The same applies to the branding of the Torikorttelit, Old Market Hall and
the new area of the Skywheel and Allas. In both scenarios the Market Square
is in the middle, forming a separate island. What is the Market Squares role
in this situation. How can the Market Square answer or react to these existing
and planned changes. Should it in fact work as a connector?

Identifying opportunities/
speculations for approach
What if... the market was seen as a protagonist or a context rather
than a viewing point? The background research aims to create an
understanding of the character and the role of the Market Square
in its present state and location but also in the near future. The
opportunities identified were looked at from different perspectives and
approached layer-by-layer creating a multifaceted understanding of
the site.
Presented in this document are three concepts, which could be applied
in a bottom up manner to the market place. These concepts could pick
up momentum and lead towards creating a new coherent and exciting
character for this unique market. Not only is the Market Square located
in the heart of the city, but also with the archipelago as its backdrop
it is like no other trad- ing place of its kind. The three concepts
are presented under an umbrella concept: Documentworthiness, a
motivation of making the Market Square worth documenting and
recording.

What it means: These three words create a concept, which addresses all many
types of users and stakeholders related to the Market Square. The words shall not be
separated, as the word combinations would then describe a different place than what is
desired taking in notice all the users. The aim and goal is for the Market Square to be
described with all three words and thus become a place that is something superior and
extraordinary.
