Anteprojeto de uma edificação para abrigar a Feira Livre dos Vinhais

Abstract

The Vinhais’ Street Market is a democratic and dynamic trading channel that happens in a public place, located in a strategic neighborhood of middle/upper class in São Luís/MA, characterized by the possibility of interaction between merchant and customer, allowing interference in the choice of higher quality products, with opportunity for bargain price. In just one place, there are several products with varying prices, people with different needs and different economic and social profiles. Despite the classic and contemporary economy characterized by the law of supply and demand and the advantages of a supermarket, like convenience and ease way of payment, the VInhais’ Street Market is still much frequented, because many customer-supplier relationships are based on trust and professionalism. The personalized service is a competitive advantage that, hardly, the big stores can offer. However, it has serious problems of lack of infrastructure and mobility. The present work aims at proposing a project that houses the Street Market into a building and provide the necessary support for its functioning, enhancing their surroundings and ensuring quality in commercial and social relations, strengthening the link between market and urban space. Thus, the act of "Make the Street Market" becomes more enjoyable with efficiency, convenience, accessibility, comfort and safety guaranteed.
