Confronting existing problems faced by streeteries, the FOOD SHORTAGE seeks alternative solutions for a more adaptive and sustainable public eating environment. The project develops a method for promoting circulation along an underutilized stretch on 10th street by encouraging occupation on nodes of wasted space through loosely defined boundaries of catenary tensile forms on top of the existing abandoned viaduct. The project also promotes innovative environmental solutions utilizing the wasted heat from nearby factories by piping it through a passive biomaterial filtration system embedded in the floor for a natural heating source, a waterwall for central warming, and a hydroponic system of community vegetable growth as a viable use of rainwater collected by the sustainable ETFE tensile roof system. All four occupancy nodes are then interconnected into an extensive pulley system for a no-contact delivery solution making for a one-of-a-kind dining experience that can be replicated in other underutilized areas of the city.

HEATING PIPES

In order to reduce environmental waste from propane-fueled heaters, a system of pipes transfers heated air byproduct from local industrial factories where it is filtered through biomaterial and translated to reusable interior heat.

HYDROPONIC CORE

Rainwater is collected by the ETFE tensile roof cover and diluted in a central water wall to either by heated for internal conditions or distributed to the hydroponic vertical garden.

PULLEY FOOD DELIVERY

A network of pulley systems connect local restaurants to the dining areas in order to provide non-contact food delivery and a unique dining experience.
