The primary vehicle for the discussion of adaptive use has been the historic urban marketplace. Of the markets selected for discussion, the Faneuil Hall Markets of Boston , Massachusetts and the Pike Place Markets of Seattle, Washington have been emphasized. iii The analysis of the historic urban marketplace was directed toward three primary concerns; societal (community needs) , operational (function), and architectural (Physical elements).
