Brief: 
"By 2050, a global population of 9.8 billion will demand 70% more food than is consumed today. Feeding this expanded population nutritiously and sustainably will require substantial improvements to the global food system – one that provides livelihoods for farmers as well as nutritious products for consumers. You are asked to design a Food Production Centre for the year 2050. The building will be divided in to 3 distinct sections: Food production, selling, educating.

​

You are required to develop the orthographic drawings and detailing for the Intervention Project – ‘Food Production Centre.’  By delivering the project at this level of scrutiny, you will learn a great deal from working up this proposal in more detail."

Description:
The determined project focused alternative dairy products. through research it was found that the dairy industry contributed significantly to global warming, rain forest destruction, animal cruelty and poor dietary choices. There are already many people choosing dairy alternatives for this reason and by 2050 (as the brief specifies), this will be an even bigger industry. This part of the project was to determine a specific client, purpose, research into the production of the food in the centre and a design intention. In the research I found that almonds can be used to make many different dairy alternatives with minimal wastage, from one batch of almonds (and different processes) milk, cheese, butter and flour can be made. The initial design intention is to use large machinery spanning between two floors, product placed in the top and removed at the bottom and repeated until the relevant final products of milk, cheese, butter and flour are made. The main entrance area is filled with plants and almond trees creating the feeling of being outside and connected to nature.

​

The final aspect of this project is to finalise the design layouts and aesthetics but focus on Auto CAD orthographic drawings creating the first technical package across the degree. In using the CAD drawings, rendered floor plans were created for final visuals. The final aspects that were developed for the hand-in and presentation were several interior images made from 3Ds Studio Max, axonometric exploring the design (also made in 3Ds Studio Max), photoshop visuals and a physical model made on the laser cutting using MDF wood.
