I Designed a City Block to Grow Its Own Food

My book "A Year in Design" is available here: https://www.ungstudio.com/book Have you ever stopped to wonder how far the food on your plate actually traveled before reaching your kitchen? In hyper-dense global cities like New York, Tokyo, and London—and even in island regions like Puerto Rico—nearly everything we eat is imported from massive industrial farms thousands of miles away. In this video, I explore an architectural concept that tackles this vulnerability by reimagining city infrastructure: the Urban Greenhouse Farm and Park. Join me for a full architectural walkthrough as we look at how converting a standard city block into a multi-tiered public park, local business hub, and subterranean greenhouse network can bring fresh, sustainable produce directly into our urban neighborhoods. We’ll explore the three distinct greenhouse pavilions calibrated for temperate, tropical, and Mediterranean climates, producing everything from apples and dragon fruit to lemons and olives right in the center of the city. Let me know in the comments if you would like to see an urban farm park like this in your city, and don't forget to subscribe for more architecture design concepts!
