These four sheets comprise my submission for Urban Green
I have spoken about the masterplan and research in more detail elsewhere on the blog... I don't want to spend too long talking about these as I am planning on redoing certain aspects of it over the summer.
I am not totally happy with the over all package. I believe the content is there - I definitely did my research in terms of construction and the food growing! (the most reinforced concrete planters EVER). The overall aesthetics, layout etc, however, need some work. There is no overall cohesive feel to the four sheets.
Better get on pintrest....
1. MASTERPLAN
Food Boulevards
Food Boulevards are listed as an urban food growing typology in Jason Grimm's 'Food Urbanism' (2009). Effectively these are excessively wide streets that are utilised for food growing and managed by local producers or co-operatives.
The Brewery Park vision sees Leeds's new park as a food hub - not just in terms of aeroponics units and the conversion of the old Tetley Brewery warehouse into an indoor market, education centre and restaurant area - but in terms of becoming a truly productive landscape.
The food boulevards are the critical element in this vision. Brewery Park and The Tetley Food Hub will serve to not only enrich people's lives but it will change attitudes towards food - the way it is; produces, consumed and often wasted - for the better.
Food is the common denominator in society.
Brewery Park will be a celebration of food.
2. DETAIL DESIGN (1:500)
1 metre high 'Thieves Gardens' feature an array of treats for people to pick - deterring them from picking in the productive areas.
The visuals showcase the view North-east of of the focus area shown, down a food boulevard with the thieves gardens on either side. The top visual is winter: Cabbages, Onions and Perpetual Spinach protected by Polypropylene netting. Sumer: Strawberries, Onions, Basil on the left. Purple Broccoli and Fennel on the right.
