Basically we propose two very simple operation schemes considering that they’re not touched: the first one, the visitors route, disposed as a longitudinal itinerary elevated around of the auction space (ring), which begins and ends at the lobby; the second one, the market route, defined by the linear sequence at the works ground level, with crossed accesses to load and offloading the merchandise (spine).

A big eaves welcome the visitors in the public thoroughfare being a stroll zone that works like covered seat (exterior space. lobby). From it is acceded there to a glass lobby, with double height, which ground is folded until reaching a meter on the auction zone defining a first central area of observation.

In one side of the entrance we find a reception volume and in the other the toilets. From each volume born a vertical communication, with ramps and stairs that connects the entrance floor with the two footbridges that cross the exhibition hall and the auction space. Their lateral panels are protected with inclined glass plans that work as hygienic barriers and serve as support to the exposition material. The two footbridges are connected in the other extreme of the building in an exhibition hall. In this way we composed a ring route where’s allowed and combined the observation of the market activity, without interfering with it, and the one of documentation and complementary information.

Next, integrated in the same volume, were predisposed the ten departments of the old market and, in the final space, the sea port office which controls the fishing activity. The ground floor, inner of the first floor perimeter, leave work spaces covered.
