도시인 푸드 네트워크를 새롭게 구성합니다.
도시농업은 우리에게는 낯설기만 단어이지만 농작물에 대한
순환주기를 효율적으로 통합관리함을써 현재 도시와 농작물 생산지역의
이원화로 발생하는 다양한 문제점을 해결 할 대안으로 떠오르고 있습니다.
도시농업의 커다란 숙제는 다양한 기후에 대하여 어떻게 대처할 것인가 입니다.
그린하우스 트랜스포머는 도시농업을 위하여 다양한 타입토폴로지를
할렘 서측 커뮤니티 지역에 제안합니다. 이와같이 변화하는 공간은 다양한 환경에 대한
농작물의 환경을 조절함으로써 수경재배를 통한 안정적인 생산을
보장합니다. 또한 다양한 커뮤니티 공간으로써
활동적인 레크레이션과 도시농업에 대한 세미나 그리고
다양한 이벤트를 진행 할 수 있는 공간으로도 활용됩니다.

Project Description from the Architects:
The Greenhouse Transformer is a typology for urban farming with the
purpose of creating environments for learning year round within the
community of West Harlem. The main goal is to integrate life cycle
components of food production into a building that is also a catalyst
for activity in the area and allows visitors to engage in the program in
a more efficient way.
To achieve this goal, we introduced a transforming system that can
provide various environments as nature. One of the things that restricts
farming in a city the most is climate condition. Unlike in a farm land
where developed irrigation systems are, urban farming should stricktly
depend on natural climate conditions. Together with mechanical means,
the system allows different types of climate so that climate conditions
for urban farming can be more controlled.
Project Details:
Project: Emerging New York Architects Competition 2012 (The Harlem Edge; Cultivating Connetions)
Result: Honorable Mention
Year: 2012
Team: PRAUD (Rafael Luna, Dongwoo Yim)
Area: 2,475 m2
Food Production:
The building allows for year round farming through hydroponics, greenhouse transformation, and exterior farming.
Education:
The building provides spaces for teaching and learning about urban
farming in a direct matter, where people interested can see the process
first hand.
Processing and distribution:
Goods grown in the farms can be collected and sold to raise funds for the Learning program.
Consumption:
During summer months, the open deck plaza allows for farmer’s markets,
where the products can be sold, and used by local food vendors.
Entertainment:
The building itself provides new settings that demonstrate different
environments and settings for social mixing, and creates new
recreational activities for the community.
