Assignment 2: Tree of Houses

I use “ tree of houses” by Paul Klee as a metaphor for the vertical farm.
Trees absorb water and sunlight then neutralize people who inhabited in the houses, just like the vertical farm in the unban environment provide food for people who lives in the neighborhood.Ecotect here is a tool to divide area that need 24 hours artificial light. I open it to be an atrium and planning to plant trees of beds. Locations of beds are decided according the maximum use of daylight in the atrium under adjustable roof, when the rest is green roof. Storm water storage is at ground level when columns here become metaphorical tree branches.




For educational purpose, visitors can stand at a certain floor but view fish tank level, filtering bed, and vegetable bed at the same time to understand how the vertical farm operate. The challenge of the project would be reflective and translucent material research to maximize the depth of daylight.
