Having just returned from a long weekend in Nova Scotia (to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving,polo ralph lauren cheap, naturally!), my thoughts linger on fond memories of the time there. Apart from the joys of family and thankfulness, one in particular springs to mind: the excitement of seeing a beautiful example of adaptive reuse of a handsome industrial building.
Or, to be more precise, a maritime building. What was once a dock and unloading facility for passengers and cargo from large ships is now the Halifax Farmers Market,polo ralph lauren online, a bustling hive of humanity in happy gathering and trading mode. The open structure,collezione polo ralph lauren, all girders and pipes on a big scale, encases huge open spaces flooded with natural light from expansive windows.
Built to accommodate the movement of thousands of people, large balconies on three sides offer more vendor spaces.
A “green” roof surrounding an open seating area (with a fabulous view) provides temperature control, while graceful wind turbines provide power for light and heat.
How rewarding to experience the results of thoughtful design and engineering: taking a building that might have fallen into disuse and creating a perfect venue for economic and cultural rejuvenation! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Bring lots of bags for yummy fresh veggies and flowers…
