Octagonal Red Brick Market: Cruciform Stalls and Dormer Windows

Architectural photography of an early twentieth-century public market building in Taipei, Taiwan, in the manner of Kondō Jūrō. An octagonal two-storey red brick pavilion with white plaster bands at each corner, capped by a low eight-sided roof of dark tiles with small arched dormer windows on alternate faces. A long cruciform brick hall extends behind it. Round-arched openings at ground level, a simple corbelled brick cornice, no columns or classical portico. Warm afternoon light on the brick, a busy street corner with old shophouses nearby, low three-quarter view, photorealistic, 8k. --ar 16:9 --v 6.0
