Garak Market Idea Competition(2nd)

Garak Market Idea Competition(2nd)

There is a theory of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis, in which the thesis and antithesis are both transcended through conflict, giving rise to the synthesis. In this context, Garak Market proposed a “Synthetic Eco-Market” that combines the functions of a wholesale market with the public good. RUN FUN was envisioned as a facility for merchants, local residents, and visitors alike—one that endows the market with new public value by combining its functional role with that of a landmark. We are creating a market capable of adaptation and proliferation—qualities that foster flexibility—and this evolution proposes a system that embraces life, including unpredictable transitions. Rooted in the Tancheon Stream, the Tree of Life N.A.M.U. (Nature And Market Unison) represents a place where nature and the wholesale market coexist in harmony, becoming a destination in its own right.
