Joseph Peltier. The main strategy of the project is to expose the functions and operations of this urban farming incubator and to add new, community-focused programs including a brewery pub, a small fresh grocer, a public kitchen for events and classes, and an outdoor space for markets. The juxtaposition of various programs, processes, and functions will enable networks which are self-strengthening; adjacencies will incite innovation. 1 of 3.

Youkeun Song, “Nanchang Lake Complex, China.” Song won the Jerrold & Ruth Weil Loebl Fellowship for the parametric design of a 250-meter high-rise building, developed for Adjunct Professor Ross Wimer’s “Cultivating Parametric Seeds” studio. The parameters for the mass design are the views toward lakes and wind directions. The parameters for the skin design are daylight and programs (an office and a hotel with louvers). Each program is represented through the skin design. The variable skins also promote people’s interests and attractions. 1 of 3.
