Eliava Park reimagines public space as an activated civic landscape, where commerce, leisure, and ecology intersect. The project proposes a system of urban integration that is porous, flexible, and socially driven—a market that is not just a space for transaction, but a stage for interaction.

Instead of building a tower in the middle of the park, the project departs from the conventional tower typology. The 100-meter-wide intervention is compressed into a low-rise volume within an existing urban fabric pocket, embedded in the site’s natural topography. Key functions are tucked beneath the park, preserving an uninterrupted public surface while maximizing spatial efficiency. A key move lifts one corner of the park, creating a sloped terrain that acts as a natural barrier against noise and pollution from the nearby highway. This gesture reinforces the park’s role as an urban refuge while enhancing environmental quality.

At its core, the project embraces the informal, self-organizing nature of the bazaar. Instead of imposing fixed boundaries, it allows for controlled chaos—circulation pathways that double as social spaces, market stalls that expand and contract, programmatic zones that blur between planned and spontaneous. The market becomes an evolving organism, constantly adapting to shifting urban dynamics.

A perforated shading skin acts as a tent—hovering over the main plaza, regulating light and climate, and dissolving the separation between interior and exterior. More than a passive covering, it extends the market into the park, creating an urban condition where structured commerce meets open-ended public life.
