Abstract:

The thesis addresses the proximity of contemporary global human issues to local human issues and presents an architectural solution. By identifying, exploring and drawing closer the proximities between these global and local issues, new solutions can be developed for local application. There are new fields created for architecture when we understand and connect the proximity of objects of both cultural and biophysical creation, and when we understand and build on our ever-narrowing proximities between what has been and what is to come. The narrowing global conditions have direct implications o

Abstract:

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone Project<br>As countries around the world continue to deplete natural resources and as the world’s population continues to grow, many industries, as well as people, have begun to suffer from the strain on dwindling natural resources. Agriculture and food distribution industries send goods from all around the world to stock grocery stores, restaurants, and other retail centers. The high costs of the distribution format causes people to be unable to afford food even though the amount of production is more than sufficient. “Enough food is produced wor

Abstract:

\"Vertical Farms\" (Fazendas verticais), conceito formado por meio de estudos científicos em microbiologia e segurança alimentar no final da década de 1990, são representadas pelo cultivo intenso e protegido de hortaliças, árvores frutíferas e piscicultura. Reconhecendo que o tema abandona a abordagem experimental/ teórica e, em 2010, passa a repercutir com a implantação desse novo modelo de produção agrícola urbana pelo mundo, este estudo identifica a oportunidade de implementação da tecnologia no país e aproxima o mercado imobiliário da produção agrícola.

Abstract:

In 30 years, 6.5 billion people will live in megacities (about twice as much as today), and to feed such population will be a huge problem. As humanity grows larger, space continues becoming a crucial issue. So, things like houses, interior design, and even garden are becoming more and more vertical. But we are starting to have a large version of gardens, farms. While the field and the greenhouse take their place, this alternative retains it. Vertical farming is the cultivation of products in vertically laid layers.

Abstract:

Hong Kong’s agricultural sector has been declining since the 1980s with the reduction in area of arable lands and number of farmers. The trend of over-reliance on imported produce is likely to continue with population growth in the upcoming decades. The climbing imported to locally grown food ratio might aggravate climate change. Vertical farming, which is promoted in recent years as a more sustainable mode of farming than conventional cultivation, is investigated mainly in terms of life cycle Greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions of its produce. Assessment was carried out following the guidelin

Abstract:

Our modern “traditional” agricultural system is not sustainable. This system is highly dependent on limited resources such as land, oil and water. It also has numerous negative impacts, including the depletion of resources leading to higher prices, pollutions leading to health risks, global warming, deforestation and biodiversity loss. These dependencies and consequences are combined with a growing and ever more affluent global population which requires greater amount of resources to support its growth and which increases the negative impacts on the environment.

Abstract:

Current global agricultural practices are recognized as unsustainable. The increase in overall human population as well as the global trend of rural to urban migration, partially as a result of historically and continual unsustainable agricultural practices, exacerbates the vicious cycle of poverty and hunger in developing countries. Furthermore, cities and regions in developed countries practice unsustainable food production, distribution and consumption patterns, and as a result, exceed their global ecological footprint (Rees 2009). Consequently, the world is facing a global food (FAO 2009)

The world is facing a food shortage as the world’s population increases and arable land decreases. Despite this, the food industry is wasteful, and 30% - 40% of all produced food is lost before reaching the end consumer. Emerging technologies aim to increase the amount of food that can be grown per m2 or allow the growing of food in climates or on lands previously impossible. Four main farming techniques utilising these emerging technologies are Controlled Environment Agriculture, Hydroponic Farming, Urban Farming and Vertical farming. When used together, these techniques form the basis for wh

Comparing both manufacturers acting as monopolists we show that the cooperative will never supply final goods of higher quality than the firm, and that the problem of quality coordination is mitigated if

Além disso, o estudo das características do solo e da cultura de cobertura implantada na área são importantes itens que definem a eficiência destas máquinas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho dos mecanismos de corte de palha

Em maio de 2003, o triticale foi semeado, em Latossolo Vermelho-distroférrico, em semeadura direta, aplicando-se 3 tratamentos: 1) sem aplicação de fósforo; 2) aplicação de 80 kg ha-1 de P2O5 total de fosfato solúvel (superfosfato triplo) e; 3) 80 kg ha-1de P2O5 de fosfato natural reativo (fosfato natural Arad).

Abstract:

The growing season for vegetable crops is limited by freezing temperatures in arid high elevation climates such as northern Utah. Logan, Utah (41.73 N, 111.83 W, 1382 m elevation) has a short, variable growing season with an average frost-free period of 135 days. Extending the growing season provides growers with an opportunity to extend revenue into a normally unproductive period and benefit from out-of-season price premiums. High tunnels have been used to effectively extend the growing season for numerous crops by providing cold temperature protection. However, limited high tunnel resear

Abstract:

Le Brésil est le deuxième producteur mondial de manioc, avec une production annuelle de 25 millions de tonnes. Il existe une grande variété de dérivés industriels du manioc, dont les principaux sont la farinha, l'amidon aigre et la fécule. La production de ces produits pose de graves problèmes, les plus importants étant dus à l'approvisionnement en matière première. Le développement des entreprises passe par l'obtention de manioc tout au long de l'année, à un prix stable, afin d'utiliser le maximum de la capacité installée. La résolution de ces problèmes dépend essentiellement des modes de coo

O Parque, de 15.000 m2, construído no Estilo Inglês de Paisagismo, foi implantado ao redor de 1907 e teve crescimento descontrolado e demasiado das áreas de seus maciços arbóreo/arbustivos, comprovado pela análise de fotografias aéreas verticais a partir do ano de 1945, que mostram o aumento em ár

Abstract:

Om världen till följd av klimatförändringarna blir mycket varmare kommer förutsättningarna för hur vi planerar städer, infrastruktur och jordbruk helt att vändas upp och ner. De delar av världen som idag står för världens livsmedelsproduktion kommer vid bara några graders förändring bli obrukbara som betes och odlingsmark. Dessa förändringar kan komma att starta konflikter, och stora flyktingströmmar som tillsammans med förändrade klimatzoner helt kommer att rita om världskartan. i Skandinavien är det då troligt att vi behöver bygga samhällen och städer för miljontals nya immigranter, och dett

Submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Development Studies<br>The aim of this study was to explore stakeholder’s perceptions of whether urban agriculture is a viable alternative food system in the city. The food system in South Africa is locked into a corporate controlled monopoly that has led to the contradictory coexistence of both waste and hunger. While corporations are able to make money off necessities, we see an everwidening gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’. This presents
