21st Century Industrial Communes: Pavilion Farms

Part 1 Project 2020

The focus of this project surrounds the reintroduction of industry into the city and doing so in a manner that is sustainable both socially, economically and environmentally.

It proposes the creation of pockets of self-sustaining industry established by and for local communities. These micro-communities are sustained by four ideals: production of produce for community; development of new metropolitan industry; the creation of community spaces; and the production of community resources that in turn create new industrial communes. The intention is for these pillars to reinforce one another whereby farming supplies industry, industry supplies produce to the community, and the community coalesces with farming and industry through interaction and participation.

The first stage of the above-mentioned scheme is the principal focus of this proposal, specifically in relation to the design of Pavilion Farms, a new industrial hub located in the centre of Brighton within Pavilion Gardens. The overarching vision of this project is a future in which architectural proposals take a more multi-faceted and holistic approach to design. That is, one in which programmes influence and reinforce one another, acknowledge the fundamental relationship with community, and place sustainability and environmentalism at the forefront.
