Located in Caerphilly and inspired by Waterloo City Farm, the market hall proposal is based on an exposed skeletal structure that echoes throughout the building. Ffairgora is a market hall on 48km2 land with a masterplan that consists on a cycle on food production and education. The concept of Ffairgora is based on a contemporary version of Caerphilly’s main landmark, Caerphilly Castle. Ffairgora will create a new identity for Caerphilly bringing people into the city whilst making tourists engage and respect Caerphilly in a different way. Not only will this Market Hall be a new way of sustainability and a stepping stone in providing a healthier and happier life for the town of Caerphilly, but will regenerate multiple factors of Caerphilly’s economic income as well as bring the community back into Caerphilly’s untouched nature.
