Location Port La Libertad, El Salvador This project is about the cover of the popular fish market on the Pier in La Libertad in El Salvador. A permanent roof was necessary because of the extremely fast changing weather conditions in that area. The idea for the form as a four point cone with a “flying away” nose was developed considering the following criteria: the effectively weather protection along the approximately 100m length of the market, additional sun and rain protection for the ground area at the market entrance reckoning with a lot of different beach activities and the free view from the pier to the beautiful natural surroundings had to be kept.
