Vertical Park
The site is located in an area
which lacks in public green
spaces and does not encourage
a healthy lifestyle. Children in the
area are deprived of open spaces
to play and interact in which has
a bad impact on their mental and
physical growth. Office workers
live a monotonous life, spending
most of their time in closed office
spaces. Healthy eating and living
is not given importance.
This design proposal aims to
promote a healthy lifestyle for
not only the local people but also
for people working in the area. In
collaboration with Bankside Open
Spaces Trust, the building will
host a hydroponic food growing
system which will be run by
the people, for the people. The
building will serve as a vertical
park for people of all ages in order
to encourage social interaction
and spending time outdoors.
