Munich Wholesale Market
In collaboration with Ackermann Architects from Munich, Matthias Beckh developed the structural design for the new 700-meter-long wholesale market in Munich, which won the international competition in 2014. The innovative modular design features an optimized steel truss system with a 90-meter span, creating a vast, column-free trading floor. Natural light floods the interior through glass ribbons integrated into the shed roof. The steel frame system, combined with the triangulated secondary roof structure, provides robust horizontal stabilization in all directions. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints faced by the City of Munich, the project was put on hold in 2017.
