Michoacán Market, Mexico City

The Michoacán Market spans 360 square meters with twenty-seven vendor stands offering fresh produce, meats, and prepared Mexican dishes at the intersection of three major avenues.

The market building, constructed in 1946, exemplifies Functionalist architecture with its steel frame, concrete walls, and large windows that illuminate the interior spaces.

Local residents and restaurant owners gather at this market daily to select ingredients and exchange recipes while maintaining neighborhood connections through food-centered interactions.

The market operates in a central location where three neighborhoods meet, making it accessible to shoppers from Colonia Condesa, Hipódromo, and Hipódromo Condesa districts.

The exterior walls feature public art murals created in 2008 by artists Saner and Sam Flores, transforming the market facade into an open-air gallery.
