public vs. private interactions in the market

​

Using architectural tools to interpret the dichotomy between the busy urban public space on the ground floor, and the intimate private areas on the upper levels. It was observed that the market has the absolute dominance over the public space during the day. Whilst in the evenings the private inhabitants start to show presence in the public space. The two spaces coexist adjunct and simultaneously while dominance is ever shifting. The epitome of this duality between the public and the private was observed and documented through one particular stall in the market. This stall had an overhead hideaway, reached only by ladder the workers accented from their market stall into their home away from home, two meters above their market stall.
