Food Sustainability
GOOD FOOD UC Berkeley - 100B James Leng Studio 10 Weeks - Spring 2018 The building is a conjunction of multiple and varied programs centered around a common set of interests, which could generally be described as food awareness and education, challenging the norms of mass food production, advancing food research, slow food, promoting and supporting urban farming and food production, and the celebration of good, healthy, local food. The productive merger and interaction of the different programs and the spatial typologies is an essential agenda for the project, and should inform your thinking from the outset.

^ Diagrammatic Plans of the building
[ San Francisco as a City Based Grid ] The concept of the project is projected from the Monumental and orderly fashion grid of Hayes Valley. It continues from civic center where classical building with strict order being projected into 3 Dimensional grid on the site. The programs then interlocks between Community (red) and Research and Production (blue) area, still following a grid pattern <

[ Research and Communal ] The bottom floor started as open communal market. Since it follows the gridded Column that acts as pilotis. The space could be continuous, transparent,and flexible. As it goes up. The more private food production and research facilities starts to emerge until it reaches a full private areas consists of A Frame Gardens
[ Interlocking Voids ] Each Floor has its own shape of plans following the Grids. These moment creates multiple paradigm of the void that consists of modular transversal and longitudinal voids that spans from one to four bays. By offsetting internal walls and curtain walls toward each programs, It exposed the structure and make the grid more prominent to visualse.
[ One Point Perspective ] The Grid system allows the space seems continuous beyond the building. With Le corbusier Principle of Dynamo House, The plan is allowed to be free from load bearing as it has been taken care of by the columned grid, and Curtain Glass perimeter is allowed to happen, sequencing from another program to another creating transparency of space within.
