My master's thesis focuses on the possibility of creating urban food sovereignty and security. The aim of this project is to questions normalised, yet unsustainable systems. It seeks to illustrate alternative ways of food provisioning in an urban context.
This scenario is sketched in a densely populated, central area of the eighth district of Budapest. The different spatial elements (panel block, huge parking area, old factory building) are functionally related to each other through material and immaterial processes. I used the existing urban fabric and infrastructures to build my own system. In this structure the local community is free to dispose of its immediate environment and the resources available there. The different scales of interventions create democratic access to public spaces, resources, knowledge and initiate new modes of urban life.
The project was exhibited as part of the Next Fifty Years exhibition series at Fuga, curated by the GUBAHÁMORI architectural practice. ︎
