STAGE THREE
of creating smart, empowered, and resilient communities.
The two-semester studio project in 2021-22 engaged with the development and testing of a framework and typologies for an Urban Food Exchange (UFEx). The concept was explored at the urban and the building scale in two different locations along the Glasgow canal network.

The UFEx is a concept for a facility for horticultural and nutritional production, learning and knowledge exchange. It is meant to be a place where hand, mind and spirit are brought into creative collaboration, a place that brings together people from near and far interested in learning from one another the skills and knowledge needed to engage with the art of growing, cooking, and healthy living. UFEx accommodates spaces where raw produce is prepared, processed, shared and distributed with local and wider communities, with the longterm goal of contributing to a sustainable urban food supply and distribution to support the city's nutritional needs.
