In the recent Historic Third Ward Association Magazine, they asked local architects what their favorite structure is in the neighborhood.
Senior Architect, Nicholas Blavat, AIA, spotlighted the Milwaukee Public Market as a standout example of design that fosters community and a vibrant atmosphere.
“As an architect, my favorite landmark is the Milwaukee Public Market, designed by TKWA. It serves as a vibrant gateway and social hub for the community all year round. Its open, flexible layout and modern façade invite people in and encourage interaction, creating a lively atmosphere where locals and visitors naturally gather and sample Milwaukee’s food and spirits.”
“The blend of industrial materials and warm interior finishes fosters a sense of authenticity and connection, making it more than just a marketplace; t’s a shared civic space.”
“Architecturally, it’s a brilliant example of how thoughtful design and reclaiming unused space by a highway can cultivate community and urban vitality.”
