This project investigates the overlooked everyday condition of the market beyond its official operating hours.

These transitional moments become central to the design. Through a decentralized structural system, the building is no longer a single enclosed volume; instead, permeable gaps and 45-degree rotated modular units create temporary spaces for informal and flexible use, transforming the market boundary into a permeable field.
