5. PROGRAM AND PARTI
STORY AND RESEARCH I wanted to develop a project in areas where access to fresh food and produce are extremely limited; what are known as “Food Desserts”. It is within these regions where we tend to find struggling famlies to keep food on the table. The project itself will manifest from a study on urban agriculture and program can include community gardens, urban farming, learning opportunities, a fresh produce market, community kitchens and retail. This development should be a benefit to the community where neighbors can come harvest, prep, and cook their own food. There will be elements to help generate revenue and to help maintain the facilities, but the overall goal is to provide these areas with accessible food, educate on health and wellness, and provide good community spaces. But where were these food deserts and how do they form?

ROOF CONSTRUCTION THE DESIGN OF THE ROOF STRUCTURE IS TWOFOLD. INITIALLY INSPIRED BY MIDDLE EASTERN BAZZAR MARKETS, I WANTED A FORM THAT PITCHED FROM A SINGLUAR HIGH POINT TO A SINGULAR LOW POINT, MAKING IT EASY TO CONTROL THE FLOW OF WATER FOR COLLECTION. THE OTHER BENEFIT OF THIS FORM IS THAT ALL THE ROOFS POINT IN THE SAME DIRECTION, ALLOWING FOR MAXIMUM SOLAR COLLECTION.

PEELING THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING AWAY FROM THE STREET WAS A MOVE TO HELP GIVE OUTDOOR SPACE FOR THE RETAIL THAT FACES ONTO IT. THE IDEA IS THAT IT WOULD HELP ACTIVATE AND KEEP EYES ON THE STREET.
A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GREENHOUSE CONTAINS ROWS AEROPONIC TOWERS. PROPOGATED SOIL IS PLACED INTO PODS THAT ARE HOUSED IN THESE STACKS UP TO 20 FEET TALL!
A TERRARIUM DOUBLES AS STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, HELPING TO REDUCE RUNOFF ON THE SITE AND CREATING COMFORTABLE SPACE IN BETWEEN STRUCTURES.

A REGENERATIVE METHOD OF FARMING THESE SYSTEMS ARE A BIT MORE COMPLEX, BUT THE IDEA IS TO RECYCLE WASTE MATTER FROM A PROTEIN, SUCH AS FISH, AND FILTER THE WATER WITH PLANTS TO BE REUSED.
