The restoration and adaptive reuse of Modiano Market demonstrate how historic buildings can balance memory, oblivion and contemporary needs. Built in 1925 by Eli Modiano and Jacques Oliphant, the market is a landmark of Thessaloniki. The project preserved its original function while adapting it to changing social, cultural, and economic conditions. Restoration, structural reinforcement, rehabilitation, and the integration of modern infrastructure were carried out with respect for the building’s historical identity. Particular attention was given to its spatial qualities: symmetry, rhythm, light, materiality, and connection to the city preserving both its physical fabric and the atmosphere that defines its heritage value.
