ARCHIT ECTURE
VERTICAL GRAINS Located next to Bishan MRT, this 4 level building challenges the notion of urban farming in the heartlands as Singapore faces increasing food security issues and land scarcity. The building aims to bring awareness to SITE PLAN

Starting from the top level, raw grains are pumped from the silos and travels through different machines that cascade down to the 2nd level where flour is packaged or fed directly to the food court below.
