Food is a powerful social and cultural force. As a cultural force, food crosses socio-economic barri-ers; it has the potemtial to affect positive social change. The production and preparation of good food is not only a sound basis for economic activ-ity, but it can also be a source of right livelihood

This project is in the development phase- a feasibility study/business plan is being prepared by the Greater Cincinnati Food Hub Working Group. This group is the client.

The basic idea is to establish a new union worker-owned co-operative business in Cincinnati. The idea behind this Hub is simple: support and pro-mote regional and sustainable agriculture, advo-cate for good and better food, provide good jobs, and thereby improve the quality of life in Cincinnati.

Site AnalysisProject StatementPre-existing Site pictures

The Greater Cincinnati Food Hub Working Group seeks to estab-lish both a significant, highly visible presence, and a physical lo-cation for the food hub from which to conduct its multifaceted op-erations.

The purpose of the food hub provides a visible presence, public point of reference, and physical location for a diverse array of ac-tivities. The Hub is above all a gathering place for people inter-ested in growing Cincinnati’s food culture, improving its food secu-rity, and addressing issues related to farming, sustainability, and work.

The Greater Cincinnati Food Hub Working Group has purposely left the program specifics up to the designer. The work being done is ultimately an integral part of a feasibility study and busi-ness plan for which a building site is located at 4119 Spring Grove Avenue on the Northside of Cincinnati.The ideas should be trans-ferrable from one site to another, but not so generic as to be unin-teresting. Albeit, the primary site is 4119 Spring Grove.
