Abstract

This book presents the values of my architecture that were made visible through an open air market in Old Town Alexandria. In this work the stalls of each of the vendors was thought of anthropomorphically as a monster. The form of these monsters were identical at first and in the end had the blessing of the particular needs of the goods being sold and residences above the market as well as the site to give identity to each market. In the end a healthy relationship was made with a neighborhood of monsters to take care of the needs of the neighborhood.
