Abstract
With the nowadays technological changes, a new building typology
should be developed, where all the phases of the “Food Supply Chain” should be elaborated as one: production, process and retail.
The objective is to develop a building typology that could host a space entirely dedicated to food, where all the unnecessary phases are removed, saving on time, resources and costs, and avoiding all the possible wastes related to transportation and processes. In addition to the evident economic benefits, within this new space the consumer could achieve a stronger awareness on how massive quantities of edible products are produced. The project aims indeed
to create a space build up from innovations and technology, where fresh local food, respect and knowledge about health are cultivated and taught.
