Abstract

This work aims to elaborate a new project proposal, at preliminary study level, for the Fish Market of Rocas, seeking to adequately adapt to its commercial and cultural demands. To this end, the following work was carried out: a) a theoretical reference study on the emergence and evolution of different market typologies and fairs; b) a historical survey of the intervention area; c) reference studies that contributed to a project phase; d) an analysis of existing conditions for project implementation. The intention behind this exercise, in addition to studying this market typology, is to raise the need for more actions and projects in the city that contemplate the most popular spaces in order to celebrate their pre-existing activities and not try to erase them. In addition, this search highlights the need to combine the architecture of the place with the proposed use, where it starts from the idea of what is currently the construction that includes the commercial activities of the Fish Market (morphologically poorly accessible and whose interior is impermeable visually) disadvantages the commerce of popular character, main characteristic of that place.
