•Minimize the environmental impact • Introduce more sustainable way of farm, produce, live, dine and wear • Minimize future urban issue like resource scarcity, urban sprawl, food production, waste •By using advanced technology and education to promote new way of food system and creating hub platform where people meet, engage and collaborate to adapt and new food system in urban area

“Why choosing the site?”

Past: Strong heritage context related to manufacturing and textile Past: Abandoned warehouses and manufacturing industry Present: Place for Dine, Art, Design and Fashion Present: Existing site has retail, grocery, hotel resident, textile heritage

“Why do you need your proposal in the city in 2070, why cant that still be done out of the city and brought in?”

• More efficient and sustainable way of food production and manufacturing • Introduce a new way to use skyscraper with vertical manufacturing & advanced technology • Stopping Urban development sprawling out of the city horizontally and impact the environment but to vertically. • To maintain and revive natural habitat/nature/farmlands/biodiversity • The traditional farming no longer able to fulfil the urban population growth and climate change, natural disaster will impact the food production and manufacturing line. • Climate change bush fire impact environment- industrial and farming - deforestation pollution land use - move back into urban with sustainable solution - people continue move into city - job, education, speed of production and manufacturing

“How can textile and food have related?”

• the program cycle – page 43 • Moving whole food supply chain into one place • Our food system requires food science and advanced technology to produce sufficient of food supply to urban population • require education to produce more professionals to learn how to run these food production and manufacturing method • researcher and student collaborate with nutritionist company to achieve sustainable food production and manufacturing • After food production and manufacturing, the product can be deliver to consumer directly within same place • Meanwhile waste like plastic waste from packaging and fabric can be recycled. • By using advanced technology and education to transform waste into new products such as textile, which creating more job opportunities and entrepreneurship, cooperate in the production, manufacture and deliver new products to consumers within one building.

“What do you think of this proposal?”

“Whole System as One” I think architects should look into the uses of mixed use skyscrapers in the future. It is not just a residence, retail, and office, but a place for interaction, participation and collaboration. By transferring a specific supply chain/system (such as the “food supply chain”) to one place. Interweave each other to support whole system operation, By developing vertically which can be more efficient, sustainable and environmental friendly. Instead continuing urban sprawling horizontally and dividing different zoning and creating more man-made disaster that impact to our environment.
