Chicago Food Hub

The structure for this building was very important to understand and make sure it could work on the interior and exterior. The roof was made to be engaging for the interior as well as the exterior. Wanting people to walk under it and maybe even touch it gives this space added touch. The design has an added sitting and eating space on the exterior, where people can sit and enjoy food, while also being able to take in the view of the river, the rest of the site, and most importantly, this structure.

Interior Space

The space under this structure has to be fully engaged with it, for it to be successful.

Depot Building

The Depot Building is a swiss knife of the site in a way. It houses the main distribution/storage facilities in the basement, where trucks unload and load shipments. The building also has an open market space for the public, along with two restaurants that have outdoor seating attached. The side towards the riverfront has a large courtyard for seating, because of having two commercial buildings that also have restaurants, this serves as a center of site hub. The roof of the building is where the majority of the urban farming is located. There are green houses up there as well that would hold some vertical farming.
