Relocated Roots: A Community Focused Urban Agriculture Facility

Abstract

The design of 407 New Street seeks to introduce the agricultural sector into the urban environment. By integrating agriculture into the city context, the project aims to introduce a new typological identity to the neighborhood and revitalize the community.

This thesis project, titled “Relocated Roots,” addresses a limitation in current thinking about agriculture within the urban environment. It aims to expand the public knowledge by providing an educated architectural experience that both informs the user of modern growing techniques and positively promotes the message of sustainable city farming.
