for productive greens, green space as not just a visual experience but a participatory one. With technological improvements, robotics will be employed as the agents to redefine city farming in hopes of addressing the three arms of sustainabilitysocial benefit, economic viability, and environmental sustainability. The continuous productive urban landscapes and city farming as the new urbanism will have a dynamic with the robotic interfaces and consequently shape lifestyles, spatial layouts, architectural form and urban morphology.
THE FUTURE OF URBAN ARCOLOGY: Towards a Resilient City Farming Machine
This thesis is envisioned to be a proposal for quasi food hub embedded in a food network, a revamping and retrofitting strategy for the decentralised food production network. It would act as a base to propel urban agriculture as the new urbanity, a temporal architecture focused on its incarnations, evolving and expanding through time into an establishment capable of sustainable food production. Through the proposed design, the architecture critically evaluates the facets of sustainability, reassessing the notion of green replacement as a new one, whereby vertical green space and skygardens are reclaimed
