Tainan Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market 그린 루프 테라스의 타이난 청과 도매시장

번잡한 하부의 분주함과 달리 상부에 다채로운 계단식 녹색 지붕을 얹고 있는 복합기능 공간

타이완 남서부에 있는 가장 오래된 도시인 타이난에 그린 루프 테라스의 도소매청과시장이 새롭게 디자인되었다. 시장이 들어설 곳은 도시와 산으로 둘러싸인 타이난 동쪽에 자리하며, 3번 고속도로와 연결됨으로써 주변 농지와 도시 모두에서 손쉽게 접근할 수 있다.

세계적인 건축그룹 MVRDV에서 디자인한 시장 건물은 구불구불한 계단식 지붕을 무게감 있게 얹고 있는 모습이다. 저층 공간을 구성한 시장은 지붕을 지탱하는 기둥 이외에 사방이 뚫린 개방된 구조이기에 자연 환기를 최대한으로 허용한다.

개방된 구조이기에 여러 개의 동심원으로 구획된 다양한 레벨의 녹색 지붕 테라스는 방문객들은 물론 지역주민에게 계단식 조경공간을 제공하며 서로 절묘하게 엮여 독특한 고층 플랫폼이자 휴식 공간을 제공한다.

테라스 한쪽은 건물을 뚫고 상부로 한껏 솟아오른 박공형 단순한 건물이 자리한다. 4층 규모의 이 건물은 시장의 행정업무와 식당, 지역 농수산물을 전시할 수 있는 전시장으로 구성된다.

MVRDV의 공동창업자인 비니 마스는 “타이난 시장은 산과 바다, 농지가 어우러진 주변 환경과 조화를 이루는 건물이며, 기능적인 시장과 달리 계단식 지붕은 시장의 부산함을 잠시 벗어나 주변 풍경을 감상할 수 있는 멋진 장소가 될 것이다”고 디자인 의도를 설명했다.

사용자의 필요에 따라 지붕 테라스에는 기후와 레벨 조건에 따라 쌀과 파인애플, 장미와 차 등의 다양한 작물 재배되어 테라스 용도의 쓰임새를 더한다. 저마다의 레벨감 있는 지붕에는 방문객들이 앉아서 경치를 즐길 수 있는 벤치와 피크닉 테이블, 보호장치 등이 마련된다. 이렇듯 타이난 시장은 다양한 인파로 인해 분주해질 저층부의 시장과 대조적으로 지붕에 고요한 휴식 공간을 제공함으로써 시장이 상품만을 구입하고자 하는 곳이 아니라는 또 다른 발전 가능성의 색다른 대안을 제시하고 있다. 개념이 특별한 타이난 청과시장의 다기능 복합공간은 MVRDV와 타이완의 지역건축가인 LLJ 아키텍츠가 협업을 통해 완성되며 2020년 말에 마무리될 예정이다.

MVRDV Breaks Ground on Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market with an Accessible Terraced Green Rooflandscape in Tainan, Taiwan

MVRDV has broken ground on a new wholesale market for fruit and vegetables in Tainan. With its terraced accessible green roof, the open-air market will not only be an important hub for Tainan’s food supply chain, but also a destination for meeting, socialising, and taking in views of the surrounding landscape from the building’s accessible green farming roof.

The Tainan Xinhua Fruit and Vegetable Market takes an often-prosaic part of the food industry and elevates it into a place for the public to experience food and appreciate views of the landscape. The market is located to the East of Tainan, between the city and the mountains and, thanks to its proximity to Highway 3 and public transport links, is easily accessible from both the surrounding farmland and the city, making it equally convenient for traders, buyers and visitors.

The design comprises a simple open structure with high undulating ceilings that allow for plenty of natural ventilation, with an undulating terraced green roof that is accessible from its eastern corner, where the terraces step down to ground level. The terraces will house the different products of the area. The building therefore provides an elevated platform from which visitors can appreciate the landscape that characterises this part of Taiwan. At the same time, it takes on the appearance of rolling green hills, thus becoming a continuation of that landscape. On one side, a simple four-storey structure contains the market’s administrative offices, a restaurant, and an exhibition centre where agricultural products from the region can be displayed, making the building ideal for school visits. This four-storey addition punctures the main structure, providing a secondary access to the landscaped roof.

“Tainan, in my opinion, is one of those towns which is so beautiful to me because maybe most of its nature, agriculture fields, farms, sea, and mountains”, says Winy Maas, co-founder of MVRDV. “Tainan Market, can become a building that symbolises this beauty as it compliments both landscape and its surrounding environment. It is completely functional and caters to the needs for auctioning, selling and buying goods, but its terraced roof with its collection of growing products will allow visitors to take in the landscape while escaping from bustle below.’’

The terraces of the roof will each grow a different crop – with terraces for pineapples, rice, roses, tea, and more – with the level of each type of plant determined by the plant’s climatic requirements. The roof includes sheltered spots , benches and picnic tables that allow visitors to sit and enjoy the view.

Tainan Xinhua Fruit and Vegetable Market continues MVRDV’s recent projects in Taiwan. These include the Tainan Axis, which revitalises central Tainan with improvements to two key streets and a new public square with a lush green lagoon, and the Taipei Twin Towers, a recently won competition for two skyscrapers which will become a focal point in the centre of the country’s capital. The design of the Tainan Xinhua Fruit and Vegetable Market was completed with LLJ Architects. Construction is underway, with completion expected in late 2020.

Location: Tainan Xinhua district, Taiwan, Client: Tainan City Government Agriculture Bureau Size and Programme: 80,000m² wholesale and auction market including 11,510m² roofed area(first phase) covering 180 market plots and space for auction, logistic, freezer storage and service facilities; administrative office, gates, and a roof-top restaurant.
