Food Production
These images show a vertical farming project in Singapore which include series of water-powered rotating trays that grow several types of vegetables. At this way, all the trays get enough sunlight. This principle of growing vegetables could be nicely integrated in my design.
Connection with surrounding
The ground floor will be a passage way from the shore to the projects Continuality, SEPAC and the Transportation HUB. For this to work well, the landscape between the RDM dock and between certain projects must be designed. This space will allow a continuous exchange of people between the Food CenteRDM and the site of the RDM. At this level also the ditribution of food will take place, at the market and the floating market stands. People can just walk by and enjoy the nice climate and smell of fresh products or buy some vegetables for dinner. At higher levels the food consumption takes place. This will not be just one restaurant but will be situated through the whole complex. These will be places where you can be one with nature and enjoy your lunch or dinner with a nice view over the bay area.
References
Just as these reference projects show, the Food CenteRDM will have a different climate to be able to grow food in every season. The facade will not always be closed though. The facades need to be controlled by a smart system that senses the climate outside.
