Prompt version 10 aims for an Italian inspired food hall design. The output processed included communal seating were users can get food to site and eat with friends and family. The a rched signage and hanging lights adds to the Italian theme but the space feels restricted and the closed end doesn’t help the flow through the space. The design could be more open to help encourage users to flow and move through the space unintentionally.

The aim behind prompt version 11 was to expand on the visulisations from prompt version 10. Prompt version 10 shows a spaces that seems small and very congested but by using ranking along side the prompts and adding key words such as open aired help to create a space which can appeal to the user much more. The market feel allows users to browse at stalls, connect with stall owners and also connect with other users . The dining space also creates pockets and areas where users are encouraged to sit with family and friends to enjoy the fresh produce being sold right in front of them.

SKETCH MODEL ANALYSIS: SKETCH MODEL 01

When creating sketch model 01, the main ideas I explored were building placement to enhance pedestrian movement throughout the site and to enable a sense of safety for the users within the site. The way this was explored was through the building placement, creating fewer, larger buildings to minimises smaller “unsafe” alleyways through the site and to also enable a view throughout the site from one side to the other.

I also implemented design ideas such as overhanging and cantilevered roofing from the “PowWowWow Commercial Center” in Thailand. Like the “PowWowWow Commercial Center” the overhanging roofs creating a safe and sheltered walkway for all users whilst traveling around and through the site. The aim behind this design feature is to help promote a higher user engagement throughout the site.

clear and distinct paths of entry into the site

clear view to each building from any point in the site to create a stronger sense of safety for the user

SKETCH MODEL ANALYSIS: SKETCH MODEL 02

When creating sketch model 02, I explored a more unorganized and scattered building placement to gain a more organic and natural feeling to the site. This more organic feel helps link back the scattering of tomatoes and people throughout the sauce making experience. Activating the corners and edges of the site can also help user engagement throughout the site and minimize the harsh boundary we see on site in Bulleen currently.

The idea of having open buildings and pitched roofing was inspired by my precedence study of “Eataly New York Flatiron”. The large open roofs can help open up the space underneath to again encourage user engagement and flow throughout whilst also creating a large communal space to bring people together. The open pitched roofs also help to create more of a market feeling throughout the space, linking back to the Italian theme.

SKETCH MODEL ANALYSIS: SKETCH MODEL 03

When creating sketch model 03, the idea over building placement was a strong factor. My aim was to create different small buildings for different programs which would also create spaces for distinct entry ways and smaller alleyways into the site. I also tried to use the building placement to help create central outdoor communal spaces.

Another main feature I focuses on whilst creating sketch model 03 was layering and overlapping. The idea of folding pasta and layering pasta when making homemade pasta is what drove the idea of layering and overlapping the roofs. I added roofs which are overlapping creating layers and sections which are cantilevered. The cantilevers sections could be used to help shade the outdoor communal spaces. This idea of cantilevered sections was also inspired from my research on the “Trumpe Cadde”.

SKETCH MODEL ANALYSIS: SKETCH MODEL 04

When creating sketch model 04, the main idea was to expand on the ideas explored in sketch model 03. By using different placement for the building, this created small alleyways through the site, open and clear pathways through the site and also it helped to create larger communal spaces which could be used as outdoor dining spaces, helping bring people together.

Further to the building placement, I looked into how stacked volumes could create interesting pockets within the site on ground floor. By using staggered volumes, this helped to create areas that shade the ground floor, ideal for the outdoor dining aspect. The staggered volumes also could allow for green spaces and outdoor terraces on the roof top of the lower volume. Using flat roofs which cantilevered and overlap also help create a more usable ground floor space for the suer and also help to create inviting and integrating path and entries into the site.

SKETCH MODEL ANALYSIS: SKETCH MODEL 05

Throughout sketch model 05, my aim was to explore the same ideas from Sketch Model 03 and Sketch Model 04 including scattered building placement, pathways through the site, staggered forms and cantilevered roofs, but also to explore other elements that could be added, including voids and entry points.

Throughout Sketch Model 05, voids were used to help add another layer to the sketch model, voids would help to create bright and inviting spaces for the interior spaces and also help create a visual connection within the building throughout various levels. To further explore this idea, voids could be created by strategic building placement where the void is created not by subtracting from a surface but created by placing buildings in a way that creates a central void that is shared by all of the surrounding buildings. This idea can be explored throughout Sketch Model 06.

OUR FOOD SYSTEMS: PROBLEMS & OPPORTUNITIES

Production

The process of growing and harvesting food, including crops and livestock.

Processing

The transformation of raw food into products that can be consumed, such as packaging, canning, or baking.

Distribution

The transportation and delivery of food from producers to consumers.

Consumption

The act of consuming food by individuals or communities.

Waste Management

The proper disposal or recycling of unused or expired food and packaging.

OUR FOOD SYSTEMS

Our food system is a complex web of activities and processes that involve the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of food. At its core, the food system aims to provide safe, nutritious, and affordable food to meet the needs of a growing population. However, the current food system is facing a number of challenges , including climate change, food insecurity, and unsustainable production and consumption practices. These challenges have the potential to undermine the resilience and sustainability of the food system, and threaten the health and well-being of individuals and communities.

However, there are also opportunities to transform the food system to address these challenges, such as through the promotion of sustainable farming practices, the development of more resilient and diversified food systems, and the adoption of healthier and more sustainable diets. Additionally, advances in technology and innovation offer opportunities to improve the efficiency and productivity of the food system, while also reducing its environmental impact.

PROJECTED REALITIES: FOOD PRODUCTION

The continued use of sustainable agriculture practices, renewable energy sources, and cutting-edge food technology ensure that Italian cuisine remains a vibrant and important part of global food culture for generations to come.

FOOD PRODUCTION: INCREASING PROBLEMS

Climate change represents a pressing global challenge that cannot be ignored. The phenomenon of rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns has significant ramifications for agricultural productivity, and projections indicate that the world could face a s ubstantial decline in food production over the next three decades. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, by 2050, crop yields could decline by as much as 25% due to climate change. This decline will be made worse by increased occurrences of extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, which are expected to become more frequent and intense as the planet warms.

In addition to the pressing challenge of climate change, the food production industry is also facing significant strains caused by the rapidly growing global population and the associated demand for food. The world’s population is projected to reach 9 .7 billion by 2050, which will require an estimated 70% increase in global food production. This increase in demand comes at a time when existing farmland is increasingly being converted to urban and suburban development, which limits available land for agricultural purposes.

FOOD PRODUCTION: FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

As time goes on, we will see major technological advancements and new processes throughout the world which would have the potential to create new and sustainable solutions to help revive and combat against lack of food production.

The emergence of AI systems is poised to play a pivotal role in the survival of the food production industry by enabling new and innovative techniques to increase efficiency and reduce waste. AI-powered crop monitoring systems can provide farmers with real-time data, allowing for higher yields. Additionally, 3D food printing holds potential for creating personalized, nutritious meals that are easy to produce and reduce food waste. Predictive AI systems can help anticipate environmental factors and manage risks, while AI-based food quality control ensures that only the highest quality products make it to market. These sustainable and transformative applications of AI represent a major step forward in securing the future of the global food production industry.

Innovative farming approaches, such as vertical farms, controlled production environments, and food hubs, offer sustainable solutions to the global food production challenge. These new spaces for farming optimize resource usage, reduce environmental impact, and increase food production to meet growing demand in an innovative and sustainable way.

“what mdw

“what the food?”

The world of 2049 is a vastly different place from the one we know today. The earth is scorched by relentless heatwaves, parched by unrelenting droughts, and flooded by ferocious storms. Traditional food sources have become a distant memory, replaced by a bland, lifeless substance called “Gloop.” Sadly, one of the casualties of this shift has been the Italian tradition of sauce-making - an activity that used to bring families together to share laughter, stories and a delicious meal. But fear not, for where there is loss, there is also innovation.

Enter the Memoruccine Innovation Hub - a revolutionary concept that marries cutting-edge technology with sustainable practices to create entirely new flavors and textures, all while reviving traditional meals that were once thought lost. The hub boasts stunning design features, new programs and spaces, and a dvanced AI systems, making it a space for people to share, learn, and relive old memories.

The hub has found a way to infuse “Gloop” with the rich flavors and textures of Italy’s culinary heritage. Immerse yourself in the Memoruccine Restaurant, pick a pasta flavour , select an emotion, and relive old memories.

The Memoruccine Innovation Hub is a beacon of hope in a world that has lost so much. The hub aims to reignite the timeless tradition of creating and sharing memories through food, offering an immersive space for friends and family to come together and create new stories and lasting memories.

Tomato Sauce: Bringing Family Together

Coming from an Italian background, traditional food is a massive part of our culture. One particular dish that holds a special place in my heart is spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce, it represents a day of hard work, laughter and life long memories.

Sauce day is an Italian tradition celebrated annually. Family members gather to chop, boil, and bottle tomatoes for cooking throughout the year. This day ends with a classic Italian meal, and lots of laughter.

This meal creates a powerful lived experience not just for me, but for my entire family. It transports us back to a time of hard work and valuable moments spent together. This dish represents our unity as a family, as we gather to enjoy each other’s company and create a beloved meal that we can all savor throughout the year.

Tomato sauce does more than just i gnite taste buds around the world with its fresh, savory flavor. It brings families together around the table to share stories, laughter, and create new memories.
