The urban environment of Shanghai is dominated by towering sky scrapers, twisting railway, interlacing roads, extensive shopping malls and elevated highways. The highly dynamic urban existence provides opportunities to witness different stages of urban development and transformation. The lilong housing of Shanghai are physical memory of the old city and are currently in a state of renewal in which the they are being demolished in lieu of modern residential high rise.

SHANGHAI - Architectural Design 5b 21313068 - Sem 2, 2016 In Shanghai, as with many cities around the world, a major shift has taken place, from an ‘intra-urban’ to ‘peri-urban’ agriculture. As housing and office developments grew within the city, farmland there has been lost and food growing has shifted increasingly to the city’s periphery. Tens of thousands of hectares on the outskirts of Shanghai are intensely cultivated with a great variety of vegetables. It is not secret the Chinese like to cook with fresh, locally grown vegetables. Instances of urban agriculture in Shanghai have become increasingly more common over the past few years as a few independent groups of people have started growing small vegetable gardens on their rooftops and balconies as they feared the decreasing quality control and safety of some agricultural products grown and made in China. This idea has formed the basis of the project leading to the question: HOW CAN A HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SUSTAINABLY INTEGRATE AGRICULTURE INTO ITS URBAN DESIGN DEVELOPMENT GOALS?

SHANGHAI - Architectural Design 5b 21313068 - Sem 2, 2016 The idea for a circular building was driven by a number of factors; foremost of these are the ability to manifest a system easily into the built form and additionally passive solar and environmental principles. A featured example of the way the systems benefit from the form of the building is the circular seasonal garden that exists on level 4. This farm land allows crops and live stock to be easily cycled through the gardens and the land can be easily managed. The tiered levels additionally maximise ‘usable’ roofing surface area.
