Food is part of what keeps us alive. But access to fresh foods and the knowledge of how to cook it corrrectly is not available to all.
This project would be creating 3 greenhouses, punching through the plinth, that would house hydroponics. The ground level would also hold an auqarium and exhibition wall. Atop the plinth would sit the learning areas, green spaces, a pond (top of the aquarium) and a restaurant.
With these greenhouses, there would be a goal to enable the surrounding schools, with a push towards high schools, to be hosted to teach their students food independance. These classes would center around how food grows, its nutrictional value, how it is cooked, simple recipes and even teaching to do grocery lists. This would go along with feeding a community in the Bronx that is not in a food secure area and where access to fresh foods is not easily available.
