What is Chinatown? A place of where the authentic Chinese restaurants locate? A place of where you can buy various products with a cheap price? A place of where the film makers always find a view? Or it just a neighborhood for people who share the same cultural background? In recent years, Chinatown has suffered from the loss of youth population, supply chain collapse, increased living expense, and community disconnection. With the dramatic changes due to Covid-19, Chinatown has been isolated and become an enclave.
Age Groups
This project aims to design a space with the core of supply chain integration, social construction, education empowerment, and economy revitalization. By incorporating with the sustainable strategies and the vertical farms, it creates a self-efficient Chinatown’s focal point and meet the food demand.

By incorporating with sustainable strategies, the vertical farms on site are organized to face south to maximum the solar obtain. There are solar panels on each hat house which would generates the electricity of approximately 100 Kw/hr. In terms of rainwater collection and storage, the plant troughs, cistern, and water basin are applied to maximum the catchment surface on site. The central courtyard connects the northern and southern greenhouses to refill the water path as water moves.

There are two types of farms in the project. By inplementing aquaponic system, it cultivates fish and plants together in a constructed, recirculating ecosystem utilizing natural bacterial cycles to convert fish waste to plant nutrition within the vertical farms. The conventional farm mainly grows dirtbased vegetables and fruits. The ETFE shell creates a microclimate which can foster the off-season produces.

By simulating the gathering hotspot around the site, the project creates a central gathering space for the community. With the monthly and annual festivals, it provides an open public space for people to gather and celebrate their cultures and food. At same time, a community garden is embedded on site to attract more young visitors and encourage the surrounding neighborhoods to grow their own produce.
