Test Case: BKLN Navy Yard. Test Case 2: Kungsängen. RIO 20 A CHANCE TO ENGAGE SMALLHOLDER FARMS IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE. In Rio 20, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, the importance of smallholder farmers in terms of food security and sustainable agriculture was highlighted - article in the Guardian:. A chance to engage smallholder farms in sustainable agriculture. Read the rest : http:/ www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/. The resulting prototypical Productive City questions...

Edible Infrastructures: Test Case 2: Kungsängen
http://edibleinfrastructures.blogspot.com/p/test-case-2-kungsangen-stockholm.html
Test Case: BKLN Navy Yard. Test Case 2: Kungsängen. Test Case 2: Kungsängen. Expanding the catalogue of Inputs. So far we've seen how our system performs on a small site, grafted into an existing urban fabric. We've also explored in more depth, the emergent spatial characteristics of a 1 km. Prototypical tissue generated without a context. Therefore we propose to a build a new city for 150,000 people, on an agricultural peninsula near Kungsängen, 30 min from Stockholm by commuter rail. This new commu...

Edible Infrastructures: Intro
http://edibleinfrastructures.blogspot.com/p/abstract.html
Test Case: BKLN Navy Yard. Test Case 2: Kungsängen. Edible Infrastructures is an investigation into a new mode of urbanism which considers food as an integral part of the energy infrastructure. Our aim is to build an algorithmic systems-based computational model which:. An urban ecology that provides for its residents within the given boundaries of the system via local, multi-scalar, distributed food production. 1 scale and geometry of agricultural surfaces appropriate to the intended production intensit...

Edible Infrastructures: Settlement Sim
http://edibleinfrastructures.blogspot.com/p/settlement.html
Test Case: BKLN Navy Yard. Test Case 2: Kungsängen. However just as densities in predator populations put stress on their prey and subsequently the ecology that sustains them, the very success of cities are stressing their sustainability. This causality becomes evident when the drive toward density pushes agricultural production to the hinterland and increases the energetic costs of obtaining this fuel. Once these basic processes are modelled, we will introduce and explore parameters which could steer th...

Edible Infrastructures: Network
http://edibleinfrastructures.blogspot.com/p/network.html
Test Case: BKLN Navy Yard. Test Case 2: Kungsängen. What we have called our 'distribution network', will in practice become the streets and sidewalks of our city, or the urban circulatory network. These paths, together with the convex open spaces along them or where several paths meet, make up most of what we think of when we think of urban space. We have identified four categories of public urban programmes, to be accommodated:. Recreational/ Leisure / Gathering places. These are places where people mee...
