-6 conceptual guidelines based on regeneration of an ecosystem:
bio-legacies: zoning & formatting of the site as a whole is based on the state of
the urban landscape
seeding: initial insertions are deliberate but over time become more random &
uncontrolled
adaptation: new groupings must react to the existing groupings of stalls and the
permanent pod spaces
variable regeneration levels & speeds: variable complexity of the stalls based on
the programmatic needs of the retail
biodiversity & mutual aid: competing stalls interconnect and grow together over
time
dormant rendered activated: as the site builds up with activity & program, pods
and groupings of pods maintain the open space

-Rules for [re]Generation:
1] when the site gains 21 stalls of any combination a pod is inserted
2] a pod is an open space that is permanent once added to the site
3] new [in]stalls added to the site must conform to the pod spaces and other stalls
4] none of the triple spaced [in]stall combinations can be achieved until the first
14 combinations are achieved
5] a triple stall combination is the maximum [in]stall space allowed within the site

-[in]stall types: these stall types are generic prototypical stall pieces yet tailored to the needs of the basic genre of the goods that are sold. the [in]stall parts of each genre can be mixed and matched to create any combination of retail. [in]stalls designed based upon the sectional quality of a forest ecosystem and are designed to accentuate the understanding of the sectional quality of the market and the heights required for storage, display and advertising.
“clothing”—stall mainly intended for hanging clothes/accessories, and display
and limited storage
“vegetable”—stall mainly intended for vegetables/fruits, display and storage
“flea”—stall mainly intended for display, limited storage
“building”—stall mainly intended for storage, limited display
“pod”—a permanent structure intended to ensure open space within the market

-market projections include the programmatic expectations of the market at that time, or what [in]stalls would be most prominent at the timeclick on the photos of the boards to see more detail....
i'm also including close-ups of the smaller peices of the board...
