Thesis Striving to create an urban agricultural hub and urban farming educational space that produces food and teaches the local community and restaurants. This new headquarters will make use of green space to create an interest in the community to enter and progress the building to learn about Urban Farming.
16
Metropolis Farms Company information
By working with the chosen company, the goal is to create a local urban garden that creates an interest in the community to inspire the locals to want to educate themselves on urban farming. While producing all natural pesticide free food for the local community improving food quality, availability, and the local economy.

Metropolis farms Site Visit
Upon visiting Metropolis Farm’s facilities, the process of ideal growing conditions was discussed. From our studies, we learned about how the control of artificial lighting and hydroponics creates a better fit environment for growth.
18
Metropolis Farms Site visit SITE VISIT Upon visiting the Metropolis Farms Site in Philadelphia we learned a lot about the company. Keep in mind all results vary based on what types of plants are being grown. - Metropolis Farms Philadelphia: 1800 sqft - Produce 20 yields per year - 3 to 4 Employees - 1 trained employee can run 8 growth towers - Employees can be fully trained to run the growth towers in 6 to 8 weeks. - Urban farm yield is produced in 3 weeks > Average farm, 6 weeks Grow Effeciency - 1 Acre (43,560sqft.) Traditional Farm = 36sqft. Metropolis Farms - Comparison 1,800 sqft. (Metropolis Philly) v.s. Our Growth Space over 20,000 sqft. - 20 yields v.s. 200 yields Based on our calculations we would be able to feed 20,000 people for a year with our growth rate over a 1/3 of the population of Uptown Chicago (55,137).

This concept combined many of our other ideas and coming to a conclusion on what to do. Extrusions would pierce through our southern facade, and create an atrium space between the northern program and open southern green space.

Case study pasona urban farms
CONCEPT Pasona Urban Farms is the Tokyo headquarters for the Pasona Group, which is a Japanese recruitment company. KONO DESIGNS was the architect for this project, which was a major renovation to the original structure, turned into an experience of greenery and growth. From our diagrams and analysis of the design, it is clear to see that their overall intent was to focus on individuals interaction. From the variety of green spaces throughout and covering the structure, it is clear that they influence circulation and participation.

INTERIOR Vegetation is used indoors throughout the structure for more than just an aesthetic quality. In these two examples, some of the reasoning behind this can be seen. In the first example, vegetation can be seen as an implied divider or wall. In the second example, this vegetation is used in an aesthetic quality, along with assisting in oxygen filtration.
Separation Diagram
Integration Diagram
With the amount of greenery around the structure, it would also increase productivity and overall health. It was said by Pasona that, “Such improvement on the air quality can increase productivity at work by 12%, improves common symptoms of discomfort and ailments at work by 23%, reduce absenteeism and staff turnover cost.�

FACADE The facade of the building is made up of a series of trellises that hold plants, creating a green wall. In the Spring and Summer, the facade is made up of a hundred different types of roses; in the Fall and Winter, a series of vines hang down through the trellises to continue the green wall.
