MVRDV won a competition to design a new structure in Zhubei, Taiwan that integrates a market and food hall with cultural spaces. With its diverse functions, the new market building will stand out beside the Touqian River and become a city destination. The building, named Market Cube - also known as River Bank 1, serves as an urban condenser and is seen as the next step in the evolution of the market, with its stack of open, flexible floors that can adapt to changing demands. The 18,962-square-metre project consists of a market, a foodcourt, a daycare, a parents & children centre, an exhibition and performance space.
