FARMING TOWER PUBLIC ALLEYWAY/ MARKETCOMMUNITY GARDEN PUBLIC PARK ACCESS

[RE]GENERATIVE BLOCK: A NEIGHBORHOOD GREENHOUSE the goal of the project is to merge high tech farming with urban life.

through the use of farming technology metrics, the project creates high tech, high efficiency greenhouse towers that are integrated into the block in a way that introduces food production into everyday urban life.

on the ground floor an urban figure carved by a series of alleyways allows access to activities such as retail, grocery stores, restaurants, and offices. the stepped and sloping public park above also allows acces to restaurants, residences, and offices on the second level. As they grow, these pro-grams wrap a shared circulation core and the farming towers themselves. the cross sectional relationship of the three elements of resident pro-grams, public pathways, and commercial farming activities works together to educate and instill an increased appreciation for the personal health and city health benefits of locally grown food.

The house’s lightweight envelope and structure as well as light filled interior address the issues of (affordable) living quality, disas-ter response, and house longevity/ recyclability. The house fits into aspects of Japanese building traditions of raised (crawl space) con-struction and ephemerality.

The translucent envelope responds both to the need to reduce energy loads by providing abundant daylight as well as integrates into Japanese cultural sensitivity to changing seasons and time of day. Like a skin over the skeletal structure, the thickened layer per-forms multiple functions of waterproofing, thermal barrier, and daylighting. Some of the modular panels are operable – creating win-dows and the opportunity for cross ventilation across the narrow floor plate. The envelope’s production process in the automated tex-tile industry is designed to eliminate industrial waste.

The house’s structure is a modified scaffold system and is extremely lightweight, flexible, and affordable. Modifications to the floor system give it an increased structural rigidity and hybrid cross bracing outriggers provide lateral rigidity between floor levels and sup-port the façade, which allows for a multi-story structure. The structure is secured with bolt and screw connections that reduce the number of necessary tools and labor time on site.

Due to very low material weight (1/10 that of ‘normal’ timber house construction), the main load on the house being transferred to the foundation is wind. The Light House is agile/ quick to respond in a disaster relief scenario. Elements of the simple kit of parts are all below 50lbs. and can be realistically assembled by two people. Due to its light weight, post disaster approximately 10 houses may be shipped in one 40’ truck.

The cheap scaffold structure allows this house the luxury of lofty and open living spaces. Most rooms are double height in this pro-posal. The three dimensional grid of slender columns and beams creates a flexible framework for floor platforms so that the living spac-es could be reconfigured/ reprioritized by the owner. Fabric partitions similar to the façade may be added for increased privacy.

The project recognizes the current trend of reduced housing age. Due to construction codes, current consumerist culture, and nat-ural disasters, the average house age in Japan is currently under 15 years.

The house’s proportions and approach to mechanical systems anticipate community or village density aggregations, with shared pow-er infrastructure.

01. ALUMINUM TUBE FORMING

ALUMINUM SCAFFOLDING SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN STUDIED. ALUMINUM HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING RELATIVELY SOFT AND EASILY FORGED. IT IS TYPICALLY USED AS AN ALLOY W/ COPPER, MAGANESE, ZINC, AND MAGANESE. IT’S E MODULUS IS ABOUT 1/3 THAT OF STEEL. IT IS LIGHT PER UNIT OF VOLUME (AND THERFORE WELL SUITED TO LOW LABOR CONSTRUCTION). IT IS COMMONLY SHAPED BY CASTING, HOT ROLLING, COLD FORMING, AND DIE EXTRUDING.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY Employment is expected to decline rapidly because of techno-logical advances and imports of apparel and textiles from lower wage countries.

While most apparel manufacturers worldwide rely on people to cut and sew pieces of fabric together, U.S. manufacturing has become highly automated. Because the apparel industry has moved mainly to other countries with cheaper labor costs, that which remains in the United States must be extremely labor e�cient to compete e�ectively with foreign manufacturers.

There is a debate between the pros and cons of automated manufacturing processes, which reduce the number of jobs, versus the sweatshops they are replacing. Both are in response to a ‘need’ for mass production.

FARMING TOWER PUBLIC ALLEYWAY/ MARKETCOMMUNITY GARDEN PUBLIC PARK ACCESS

[RE]GENERATIVE BLOCK: A NEIGHBORHOOD GREENHOUSE the goal of the project is to merge high tech farming with urban life.

through the use of farming technology metrics, the project creates high tech, high efficiency greenhouse towers that are integrated into the block in a way that introduces food production into everyday urban life.

on the ground floor an urban figure carved by a series of alleyways allows access to activities such as retail, grocery stores, restaurants, and offices. the stepped and sloping public park above also allows acces to restaurants, residences, and offices on the second level. As they grow, these pro-grams wrap a shared circulation core and the farming towers themselves. the cross sectional relationship of the three elements of resident pro-grams, public pathways, and commercial farming activities works together to educate and instill an increased appreciation for the personal health and city health benefits of locally grown food.
