Abstract

This thesis investigates the planning and design strategies that architects can use to reduce the waste and pollution generated by human activities, as well as produce new energy. This project designs with the flow of food, utilizing metabolic urbanism as the concept. It creates an energy-efficient system to support activities that happen in the city. In an effort to take care of our planet, this food hub project investigates strategies that educate people on eating and living healthily. It also reminds people to restore the environment with each design, thus providing a better living condition for ourselves as well as for future generations.
