dc.description.abstract |
The thesis explores the concepts of urban agriculture, architecture and community wellbeing through a neighbourhood regeneration project in Manukau, Auckland. The focal argument is that the built environment continues to physically and conceptually disconnect urban consumers to the food system, causing an array of modern problems associated with our health, environment and society. This thesis therefore explores the idea that better connecting urban agriculture to the evolution of our neighbourhoods can in turn provide tangible connections for people with the full food spectrum (from production through consumption), and provide significant opportunities for education, local employment and social integration around the concepts of food access. The key question explored in this thesis is therefore: “How can urban agriculture reconnect people to the food system” Exploring this key question across scales led to the development of a 30-year framework plan for Manukau, through the lens of urban agriculture. This plan sought to identify how to integrate, at a macro scale, a decentralized, local food network that is highly visible, accessible and affordable for residents across an existing neighbourhood as it evolves. The proposed plan celebrates both traditional and emerging sustainable horticulture methods, with education, local employment and community as key drivers for its development. At a more meso scale, the design for an agriculture tech hub (in collaboration with existing educational facilities) was developed in the thesis to further address the key research question. The architecture and programme for the tech hub sought to engage and educate local residents to reconnect them to the food system; this potential was also explored through a very human-scaled focus throughout the design development of the site and built form. The design process explored in this thesis ultimately identifies how the integration of local, sustainable food networks can have a positive impact on a communities relationship to food. |
