Intro
ELIAVA BAZAAR – ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION
Nestled within the streets of Tbilisi, Eliava Market stands as a bustling haven, intertwining commerce and culture. Its maze-like paths weave stories of livelihoods, resilience and community bonds. However, recent talks about relocating this iconic market have stirred concerns among its long-time vendors and patrons.
As discussions pivot between different options – from redevelopment to the possibility of moving to a different site – the essence of Eliava transcends mere economic metrics. It represents a cultural legacy deeply ingrained in Tbilisi’s history, fostering a sense of community and tradition.
The heart of the matter rests in preserving Eliava’s existing location, a place steeped in the city’s narrative and cherished by generations. Conserving its essence isn’t just about finding a solution to immediate concerns but safeguarding a cornerstone of Tbilisi’s cultural identity.
