Mission
Build the social heart of the Bio-Park: a piazza-style market where growers, makers and artists meet the public face to face.
A piazza-style market venue hosts local vendors, artisans and artists in permanent and seasonal stalls, framed by timber structures and open gathering space.
A performance stage turns the same piazza into an outdoor concert and festival venue at dusk, giving the district a second life after market hours.
