URBAN FOOD BANK - CAPE TOWN

The design process began wilh the idea of a large public market space on the ground
plane, inked by a structural verical core fo a farm in the sky.

The site opens fself to the pedestrianized Commercial Street and calls for an
extension ofthis public space. This public ground floor should be a public market
placewhere the organic fresh produce grown inthe building willbe traded. This space
should be large (and open plan) and shoud invite people in off the sirest.

‘The levels above this should house an information and training centre which
promotes understanding of the concept and implementation of urban agriculture on
a macro and micro scale.
