An Urban Condition

This chunk axon begins to show the inter-related conditions that occur within the hub. The ground floor features market space and an upper level food hall. These spaces have direct visual access to the water systems and fish pond, as well as the aquaponic stacks where their food is being grown and produced. This creates a level of intimacy with food and humans that currently does not exist as we don’t give much thought to where our food comes from. These ideas can be explored and later implemented at home through the use of an at-home facade kit.

The roof plane features much of the same elements. A housing block that has ground floor maker-space and is surrounded by pixel farming plots and orchard space. These levels of production and social space overlap and intertwine creating a dense urban context that is still open and green.

Below is a diagram of how the water system operates from start to finish.
