Design 5 was a research based studio. Research was done on a issue that is a global, regional, and local issue that can be applied to an architectural design. From research done as a studio, we discovered the issues with food and health and how it impacts Philadelphians everyday. We discovered the issues with food education and the impact it could have on the strawberry mansion section of the city.

                The design on the site was used to create a community center that could education those in the neighborhood on a healthier diet and lifestyle. The site and program is divided the same order as the process the food would go through, from being grown, to being sold in a retail space. The architecture is influenced based on the system of the food and how users and the neighborhood can learn from the process from visiting the community center, taking classes, or volunteering at the community center. All updateds were done in May, 2014.
