Vertical City: Food+Living, Shanghai
Our site is located in Qibao Town, Minhang District, Shanghai. The urban expansion of Shanghai has led to the encroachment of many farmers and small commercial areas; some farmers are forced to move into the city to accept the living environment they are not familiar with, while some farmers stubbornly stay in their original place of residence, surrounded by high-rise buildings. Therefore, we tried to design a building that could accept original residents, a large population, and characteristic businesses. The whole building is a combination of the food court, food production, and residential space. At the same time, taking into account environmental factors, we hope that the garbage generated by life can be used as renewable energy in the lives of people in this building. For example, rainwater and domestic wastewater can be used for crop watering, animal husbandry, and so on after collection and treatment. In addition, the combination of basic agriculture and living is that people living in high-density cities can still get close to nature and be self-sufficient to a certain extent.
