The Red Hook ball fields are not static areas. Teams, matches, and fans shift frequently during game days. The character of the surrounding market takes shape when vendors respond to the flow of people and climate of the park. The outer edges of the ball fields have become the public space for celebrating food culture and popular sports.
Our proposal provides an inexpensive framework to structure the growth of the market while allowing vendors to fill this framework with their wares and cultural identity. The system requires minimal fasteners by utilizing interlocking components that could serve as walls, counters, roofs, and decks. The roof component can be equipped with solar panels to run cooling fans, electric stoves, refrigerators, and lights. The system can be erected by two people and disassembled into stackable parts for easy transport and storage.
