Contemporary Mexican market architecture draws inspiration from pre-Hispanic models like Tlatelolco Market, which featured organized sections and public spaces for commerce. The Tianguis tradition reflects similar principles with stalls arranged in aisles within plazas. Modern markets, including Central de Abasto and others, continue this legacy, while tianguis remain a vital part of society. New projects embrace central spaces like courtyards and prioritize organization, climate responsiveness, and local materials, embodying a dialogue between historical forms and contemporary design needs to serve the community effectively.
Contemporary Mexican market architecture often incorporates principles from pre-Hispanic markets, utilizing public space and structured layouts to facilitate commerce and community interaction.
