OVERVIEW WHAT IS FODD SECURITY

MASTERPLAN

SUMMARY

The primary objective of the project is to create a specialized design application tailored to a specific theme for a test site. This application aims to address critical issues related to the chosen specialized topic. It should also be culturally and geographically suitable for the test site, offering a high-quality environmental space capable of accommodating 800 individuals per hectare.

The application will encompass a comprehensive design for three specific blocks on the test site, including scaled plans that address block, plot, and building scales. Additionally, it will provide a clear and detailed explanation of how the design solution aligns with the selected specialist topic and cultural context. Furthermore, it will illustrate how the design incorporates fundamental elements of good urban design.

The project will conclude with recommendations for future designers, along with a 500-word reflective summary and personal evaluation of the entire project.

Design in Urban Agriculture

Addressing ‘Food Security’ through Flood-Prone countermeasures in densely populated areas

The master plan design, analyzed for blue and green infrastructure, road network structure, topography, and environmental studies, aims to address flood risk and sea level rise by 2100, ensuring resilience for 800 people per hectare. It incorporates a floating structure and water network for continuous flood resilience.

Manifesto of Food Security in Rotterdam

What is food security?

Availability of Food in a country and the ability of individuals to access, afford and source food stuffs in Nesselande.

Food availability in Nesselande is critical for satisfying nutritional requirements and avoiding hunger. It is impacted by domestic output, imports, and direct distribution. Income, price, and purchasing power all have an impact on food access. Physical access to food refers to visiting food markets or utilizing household/community food supplies. Gender, age, and mobility are all important elements that determine social access. Financial access is critical to food security.

Sourcing food entails considering local vs imported sources, diversity, and resilience. Access to a variety of food sources promotes a healthy diet and decreases vulnerability to supply interruptions. Nesselande's challenges include urbanization, income inequality, food deserts, community participation, and policy solutions.

Local policy can promote urban agriculture, food markets, and low-cost food outlets. Education about healthy eating, culinary techniques, and environmentally friendly food choices can also be useful. Partnerships with local businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and government agencies can improve food supply and access.

Rotterdam is a vibrant and multicultural city, with a diverse population that includes citizens of Dutch descent as well as individuals of Surinamese, Turkish, and Moroccan heritage. In fact, a significant proportion of the population is of non-Dutch descent, which adds to the city's rich cultural fabric.

Relationship between Food System and Urban Fabric

Nesselande, a Rotterdam city extension, is an excellent illustration of how urban planning can influence food accessibility and cultural identity. The city's mixed-use areas, walkable streets, and bike lanes promote active commuting to food establishments, giving inhabitants better access to fresh produce and a variety of culinary alternatives. The design also promotes local food production with communal gardens, rooftop gardens, and vertical farming systems. Farmers' markets, food festivals, and pop-up food stalls can all be held in public squares and plazas, encouraging community involvement and promoting local food producers.

Resilience and food security are also important components of Nesselande's urban fabric. Green infrastructure, rain gardens, and edible landscapes help to provide food security during extreme weather events. Emergency food distribution centers or community food banks might be established to meet communities' needs. In short, Nesselande's urban fabric influences food availability, production, and cultural identity, resulting in a dynamic, food-secure community.

Urban design plays a crucial role in facilitating food recovery initiatives by establishing efficient systems to redistribute surplus food from restaurants and marketplaces to individuals and communities in need. This could involve the strategic placement of food recovery centers and the development of transportation networks to ensure timely and safe delivery of surplus food to those who can benefit from it.

Furthermore, the diverse population of the city can be celebrated through the creation of designated areas that cater to ethnic restaurants, specialized markets, and food-related activities. These spaces can serve as cultural hubs that not only promote diversity but also provide opportunities for local businesses to thrive. In addition, integrating public art with culinary experiences can further strengthen the bond between food, culture, and identity. Art installations and cultural events can be curated to showcase the rich culinary traditions of different communities, fostering a sense of inclusivity and appreciation for diverse cultural heritages.

The Existing Public Open Space are the reference buildings leading to the open space of Three Proposed Block, while the Blue infrastructure will give orientation and a well-known building near the site.

Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has finished a new harbor bath in the Danish city of Aarhus. The facility can accommodate up to 650 bathers and includes a 50-meter pool, a children's pool, a dive pool, and two saunas. The Aarhus harbor bath is thought to be the biggest saltwater construction of its sort.

Rotterdam has created a floating dairy farm to demonstrate how food production may be made more resilient to climate change. The farm, built by Goldsmith and established by Beladon's Peter and Minke van Wingerden, presently houses 32 cows and produces dairy products for Lidl shops around the city.

Dutch design firm Powerhouse Company has constructed an off-grid office structure, the Floating Office Rotterdam, which houses the Global Center on Adaptation's headquarters and Powerhouse Company's own studio, using cross-laminated wood.

In essence, the food security of Nesselande relies on a multifaceted approach that encompasses ensuring the availability, affordability, and diversity of food sources. This is achieved through a combination of urban design that supports local food production and distribution, active community involvement in food-related initiatives, and the implementation of effective policy interventions to address food insecurity. The collaborative efforts in these areas contribute to the development of a resilient and food-secure neighborhood, where residents have reliable access to nourishing and culturally diverse food options.
