Mercado San Valero位于巴伦西亚标志性的市中心鲁萨法区（Ruzafa），由建筑事务所nihil estudio设计，旨在打造该市的第一座街头食品市场。Mercado San Valero食品市场的设计重点有两点，一是空间特色，二是空间的彩色色调，建筑师将这二者串联，从而为游客提供了一个真正的个性化空间。

Located in the emblematic district of Ruzafa, in Valencia, Mercado San Valero is projected by nihil estudio with the aim of creating the first Street Food Market in the city.The concept Mercado San Valero has been developed following two lines, one of spatial character and the other of chromatic character, forming a tandem that allows the visitors to enter a genuine atmosphere with a personality of its own.

第三种空间 | The Third Space

从空间的角度看，现有的规范和法规将空间分为两类空间，即公共空间和私密空间。然而，很多相关的文本中都提到了第三种空间：集体共享空间。在这个具有公共性质的私人空间中，人们可以以一种共享的心态工作。

From the viewpoint of space, the current norms and regulations make reference to the existence of two spaces: public space and private space. However, there are many texts that mention a third type: collective space. It is here that we work with a shared mentality, as it is a private space with a clearly public use.

色彩 | Colour

众所周知，对于一个市场来说，最重要的不是空间，而是市场上的产品。因此，建筑师将色彩这个概念运用在了Mercado San Valero食品市场中。最初，建筑师受到了食物金字塔中主要营养来源的启发，提出了这个色彩的构想，从而暗指传统市场中不同摊位上的新鲜产品。因此，通过进行色彩解构，建筑师将不同颜色之间的差异降至了最低，并且将颜色分为了三种颜色，从而对市场中不同摊位进行分类，使其商品类别更加明显。这三种颜色分别是：红色/粉色色调用于售卖生肉、鱼类和红色水果的摊位，绿色色调用于售卖水果和蔬菜的摊位，黄色色调则用于售卖谷物、米面粮食和乳制品等的摊位。

This concept is added to the previous one in a space that is well known and used by everyone: a market. In a market, the central character is not the space, but the product. Our proposal for colors originally makes reference to the main sources of nutrition in the food pyramid, alluding to the fresh products to be found at the different stalls in traditional markets. So, by making a chromatic deconstruction they are minimized and grouped in three shades of color (red/pink for raw meat and fish and red fruits, green for fruit and vegetables and yellow for cereals, grains, tubercles and dairy products) getting to classify the different stalls in the market and their signaling.
