Food with a Face: Localising Food Production in a Post-Industrial City Part 2 Project 2024 Michael Dorsman Cardiff University | UK What is a fundamental element that humans need for sustenance?Food: This is where "Food with a Face" started. However, global forces have rapidly changed our food systems and soils over the past century. The current food injustices on a global scale highlight the need for sustainable systems to feed our growing population, requiring nothing short of a second agricultural revolution. The first revolution was characterised by expansion and exploitation, feeding people at the expense of forests, wildlife, and water, destabilising the climate in the process.That approach is not an option this time around. It threatens the health of future generations, deepens food inequality, and shows alarming indifference to the origins of our sustenance.Architecture cannot solve this issue alone but can help diverge from this destructive path. It can integrate into the circular economy of St Philips Marsh, embracing home-grown solutions within a post-industrial landscape. This project will revitalise neglected land, creating a symphony of biosynergy within the city, intertwining nature, people, and food. Inspired by the intricate networks of the natural world, this vision aims to heal the land and shape an architectural response that cherishes all living things. The building will embody adaptability, evolving harmoniously with sustainable principles and the earth's rhythms. Tutor(s)
