Land Farm to Vertical Farm


Through the remembrance of the demolished "Providence Fruit and Produce Warehouse" this new structure reignites the column bay structure, dimensions, floating lanterns on the roof and reinterprets its meaning.

The transition from land farming to vertical farming has become more familiar to society. Land farming (gardening) is an individual experience where as vertical farming represents production. This agricultural center encompasses these two components. Growing beds are designed and constructed for the production of fruit and produce, which then begin to transition and manipulate in form to become a land farming experience for the entering public. This transition allows for the public to be more interactive with the idea of farming and gardening. The experience from land farm to vertical farm is physically portrayed through the manipulation of growing beds.










The longitudinal grain of this building is utilized with a train running within the structure; transporting fruit and produce from the vertical farming area (west) to the public market (east). Perpendicular to the longitudinal building are ramps intersecting the structure that allow for the dumping of compost.

Land farming becomes vertical farming where learning centers
begin. Growing beds rise up to become vertical farming and structure for the learning centers on the southern side of the building. Learning centers are established where lanterns were constructed in the previous structure.
