The design of this city hall and farmers market was driven by the need for a city hall to represent and respond to the needs of the public. The public farmers market is inherently for the people. It exists for the people to shop, eat food, meander through the music and artisans. Sometimes it is unclear who the city hall is for. Is it for big decisions to be made? By people in higher positions, with power beyond what the average citizen has? I chose to respond to this confusion through my architecture. 
By creating a void at the center of this building, the architecture is making the statement that the public is meant to be within. The circular form is reinforced by the protruding walkways that reach out into the open square, pulling pedestrians into the space. The axis cutting through my building leads directly to the market hall, which is a building that is clearly for the people. This walkway creates an important relationship between the two spaces, and the procession from the market to the city hall is lined with the temporary market spaces. This city hall is for the people of Eugene, and the spatial sequence and form speak to that.
