As the case-in-point, I propose converting the abandoned Fisher Flourmill, on Seattle's Harbor Island, into an aquaponic food-production and education facility with three primary goals: 1. To retain Seattle's industrial heritage by re-using and recontextualizing its existing infrastructure. 2. To produce food locally, thereby reducing the disconnect between food-producer and consumer. 3. To reframe the interaction between the general public and the means-of production that sustain us, since traditionally industrial processes have been removed from public view.application/pdfen-USCopyright is held by the individual authors.aquaponic; ecology; harbor island; infrastructure; reuse; seattleArchitecturearchitectureThesis
