The project considers how the civic potentials of existing buildings can be realised through an economy of means. The project, based on the approach of building intervention as an urban tool proposes is a series of small programmatic and formal additions to the periphery of existing market building (as yet undeveloped sites) which serve as a catalyst, repairing the relationship between the market, the street and the city. The project forms the basis for understanding how alternatives can be offered to the redevelopment that typifies the recent history of Dublin City, instead working with the existing physical and social relationships.
