ORILE MARKETPLACE

The Proposed Orile Marketplace, Ibadan, Nigeria reinterprets the traditional African market as a contemporary, flexible, and sustainable commercial hub. Rooted in indigenous market typologies, the design is shaped by the natural movement of people, goods, and social interaction rather than rigid planning grids.

The project integrates passive environmental strategies, locally responsive materials, and adaptable spatial planning to create a vibrant marketplace that supports commerce, community, and future growth while celebrating the cultural identity of African markets.
