Market Square is not only a renovation of a failed mall, but a failed way of     But most of all it is about the connections. For too long has there been
life. Fashion Square Mall has, in its current iteration, failed because it has   a disconnect from the consumer and the provider. Once a social, central,

needs with the pioneering spirit of tomorrow. It is unapologetically new,
vibrant, exciting, and ready for a generation that is eager to learn from
the mistakes of the past decade to make a better world.



From a unique blend of agriculture and urbanism, Market Square brings
people together in ways they were not expecting, but know they wanted.
A variety of community events can take place in special flex –spaces
that have been carefully constructed and framed by the surrounding
buildings. Small scale local agriculture will give residents a chance to
meet their neighbors and connect themselves by their own sweat to the
land and community. Local merchants, both established artisans and start-
up entrepreneurs, will find a welcome and easy home in Market Square.
Dynamic incubating office space and sidewalk oriented retail will bring a
new class of educated young business-people to the area.

The future of economic development centers on
innovation in the public way that opens streets, parking,
plazas, and green spaces to new and interesting
programming and market opportunities. In addition
to promoting neighborhood pride, this kind of
programming supports regional economic development
and reinforces growing cultural hubs. As Orlando
develops a more authentic cultural fabric, the area not
only retains its own talent, but draws a creative class
that is eager to explore a new Florida identity.

    Fresh - Active- Local Market Square is not only a renovation of a failed mall, but a failed way of But most of all it is about the connections. For too long has there been life. Fashion Square Mall has, in its current iteration, failed because it has a disconnect from the consumer and the provider. Once a social, central, become too alienated from the communities which surround it. The same and organic part of all cities, the market has now been abstracted and alienation plagues not only malls, but where we work and where we make convoluted into stark, barren malls and a calloused invisible hand to be our homes. Offices erected in plane, disjointed parks and neighborhoods invoked on the evening news. Market Square humanizes and localizes what gated off from each other; the colorful fabric of civilized life is torn and has been tattered and lost-the sense of connection and belonging that faded. Market Square is a revolutionary project that rediscovers the past once defined every city. Belonging that once was found in the center, the and colors it with the future. It is blend of traditional values and human hub, the catalyst of every city: the Market Square. needs with the pioneering spirit of tomorrow. It is unapologetically new, vibrant, exciting, and ready for a generation that is eager to learn from the mistakes of the past decade to make a better world. From a unique blend of agriculture and urbanism, Market Square brings people together in ways they were not expecting, but know they wanted. A variety of community events can take place in special flex –spaces that have been carefully constructed and framed by the surrounding buildings. Small scale local agriculture will give residents a chance to meet their neighbors and connect themselves by their own sweat to the land and community. Local merchants, both established artisans and start- up entrepreneurs, will find a welcome and easy home in Market Square. Dynamic incubating office space and sidewalk oriented retail will bring a new class of educated young business-people to the area.
