This project is focusing on how vertical farm can encourage sustainability together with creating local urban farming. The material used for main structure will be reused steel structure, which support circular economy and help reducing carbon footprint during the steel production process. With the module and grid system, the cost of constructing vertical farming can be lower than usual construction.
The colours are used to classify type of farming activities. Blue will represent planting and crops, which has light tube as a sustainable resource for plants to grow. Red represent agriculture. Both red and blue grid will include its own waste management part. The waste from composting will be used again as plants fertilizer. The last colour, yellow, represents circulation system. Furthermore, the products gaining from vertical farming will be sold as a local food resourcing which can also support the community income.
