The Joburg Fresh Produce market also referred to as the Mandela market is the largest of it's kind in the city, it serves as a location for massive trade from the early hours of the morning. Located south of the CBD the market represents the energy of Johannesburg, the new design for the trading floor area seeks to open up the market from the dreary closed roof and dark existing stalls by bringing in light through the roofscape and into the market space, while integrating into a taxi rank with direct access to the trade floor, and focusing on pedestrian and customer access within the space.
