Uploading City by [delacourt][vanbeek]

Uploading city is a proposal for creating a sustainable market hall that will upload itself over time. It uploads in a literal way by making use of solar panels on the roof and figuratively by the new activities that will be developed here.

• Architects: [delacourt][vanbeek]
• Project: Uploading City

The roof over the public square is designed as a tilted solar plant which is directly connected to the energy chain of the nearby KEMA Institute for Energy and Sustainability. This creates a market hall that can be used for a wide range of activities (events, markets, performances). The huge roof is an invitation to come up with new programs.

Over time, the hall can be filled (uploaded) with new volumes, each with their own programs. The hall is used as a link between water, furniture hall, sewage farm and offers space to new activities and future developments.
