Abstract
The thesis focusses on the architectural investigation of modern food production techniques. Feeding our cities becomes an increasing train on our environment and our society has never been as much disconnected from the origins of the nutrition as in our current time.
The thesis proposes a food production laboratory at the border of Amsterdam. Good infrastructural connections and the proximity to a high density city stimulate the interaction with the way our food is grown and locally accessible.
