URBAN FARMING - ADAPTIVE REUSE

FOODSCAPING

This project was located in the district of Jalan Besar in Singapore. The design is meant to educate people about Urban Farming technologies and to teach people that it is possible to grow fresh produce on small pacels of land at a low cost without the exhaustion of natural resources. The intervention makes use use of a grid system, and the design is based upon it’s axises. The first axis was determined on the sun path, and the second axis follows the two most striking viepoints from the perimeter of the site - in order for onlookers to clasp the best possible view of the interior of the site. All the spaces withij the site are oriented in the direction of this grid system. The urban farming techniques and technologies incorporated in the design are - Aquaponics and Hydroponics. Thes are the most effecient technologies of urban farming. These two systems constantly bleed into all spaces in order to allow the customers to have a constant interaction with the produce. A climate controlled incubation space has been incorporated into the site to provide goods all year round in any possible climate. This also serves as a space where customers can involve themselves in the cultivation process. The circulation is designed to allow constant interaction between spaces besides also linking them in a chain.
