RIALTO MARKET, 2026
Redevelopment of the historic Rialto Market in Venice.
The project transforms the existing fruit and vegetable market with a new 42 × 24 meter steel roof, overlooking the Grand Canal and responding directly to its historic surroundings.
To minimize construction impact, the existing columns are preserved in their original positions,
anchoring the intervention to the memory of the site.
A series of autonomous dual-pitched elements merge into a single architectural gesture — like a
large origami resting lightly above the market.
