Urban Harvest: Vertical Farm & Cafe
Semester: Spring 2024
Instructor: Lindsey Bahe
Urban Harvest is a vertical farm and cafe, set in 2040, that aims to address food insecurity in urban settings. The design explores how we might reconnect with farming in an urban setting while promoting health, community, equity, and sustainable practices. This new cafe typology reminds us that urban areas must adapt to the ever-changing world and strive to improve quality of life through innovative solutions
Note: Urban Harvest was an individual phase within a group project. The building concept, form, and program were decided during the group phase.
