An innovative market and construction principle for the supermarket of the future
Project
The Wiesbaden REWE is a prototype for a new and sustainable market concept that can be adapted conceptually and constructively to any location typology. A sustainable wooden structure spans the sales areas, where locally grown and prepared products are openly displayed. The production processes of food are made visible and celebrated. An aquaponics farm is integrated into the market functions. The fish farming is located on a mezzanine floor, and the cultivation of basil takes place in a modular greenhouse on the roof of the market.
