Page 8: Food Interaction: A Reclaimed Packinghouse + Food Culture Exchange

“ we forget that people have eaten for a great many reasons other than biological necessity.

food is also about pleasure, about community, about family and spirituality, about our relationship to the natural world, and about expressing our identity.

michael pollan in defense of food

Around food, we gather and communicate.

In modern society, this statement conjures images of friends eating at a restaurant or a family sitting around the home dining table. However, our appetites have shaped our environments since the Neolithic period. Nomadic hunter-gatherer groups created permanent settlements once land was utilized for farming. The knowledge of dependable food sources within close proximity allowed other trades to flourish, and urban centers then continued to grow. Cities and their food systems were traditionally spatially interwoven; however, industrialization pushed agriculture to the outskirts as factories and technological industries grew in the city centers. The physical separation of the city’s population from the land that sustained them established the modern man’s psychological relationship with food production and consumption. The lack of exposure to food systems substantially disconnects us from the effort it takes to create food - the producer and the consumer are now two separate entities, sometimes thousands of miles away from each other. Children are now accustomed to thinking food comes from the grocery store, but this can all change with a reintegration of our food systems into the fabric of our cities.

like the table itself, food stages events, congregating and segregating people, and food becomes an architecture that inhabits the body.

Currently, food spaces in our cities solely promote consumption, but this will not sustain communities over time. This project strives to use the community food system concept to promote all processes that encompass the meal - growing, harvesting, cooking, eating, and composting. Engagement and education concerning this perpetual relationship we have and always will have with food drives this proposal. Despite being site-specific in this instance, the integration of food processes in one place, housed by an architectural intervention that supports these activities, may be utilized as a place making device for communities to celebrate local food culture and revitalize their economic and social framework.

FOOD & PLACE

Page 19: Food Interaction: A Reclaimed Packinghouse + Food Culture Exchange

19

As our food became more global,

less local, and homogenized, the places

created to house these commodities also

became homogenized. The ‘supermarket’

suddenly becomes a building typology - the

big box architecture many of us have grown

up knowing as ‘the place to buy food.’

But where are these supermarkets?

These three images could be

from almost anywhere in the country - the

corporations’ desire for continuity outweighs

regional considerations that could affect the

design of the space.

Abandoned industrial properties sit dormant within disconnected suburban networks.

The explosion of industry along transit lines, and subsequent large machinery-oriented spaces expanded the built environment at an alarming rate through the second half of the twentieth century. Extensive square footage provided the means for mechanized work and surplus of product to be delivered across the country and all over the world. Yet, this left the suburbs scaled to these processes, with streets rapidly growing to accommodate the influx of cars and industries being zoned in separate areas from residential life and commercial space. Now many of these industrial properties sit abandoned within disconnected, expansive suburban networks. This proposal strives to exploit the potential for these properties to become thriving community ‘living rooms’ in growing suburbs.

the big design and development project of the next 50 years will be retrofitting suburbia.“

26 During the Portola Expedition of 1769, Spanish soldiers traveled up the coast of California in search of Monterey Bay after founding the first mission in San Diego. Spanish colonization spread in subsequent years, and once these soldiers retired, many decided to return to Orange County (originally named Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana) and buy land to raise cattle herds, whose hides were being shipped abroad for a substantial profit. As more Europeans began arriving, the partitions of the 200,000 acre Rancho emerged as a problem. Alfred Chapman, one of the lawyers for the owning family, received 4,840 acres as payment for his services, and planned for his share to be turned into viable farmland. He began construction for an irrigation ditch from the Santa Ana River and completed it in 1871. The other family attorney, Andrew Glassell, then laid an eight block townsite around an open Plaza Square, which was then surrounded by ten acre farm lots.

PIKE PLACE MARKET

Page 31: Food Interaction: A Reclaimed Packinghouse + Food Culture Exchange

31

Founded in 1907, Pike Place started as a city-

sponsored experiment to assist local farmers

in selling their produce directly to consumers.

After WWII, farming technologies and

transport innovations drastically changed

the local farming economy, which led to the

market’s decline. Shoppers were moving to

the suburbs and shopping at supermarkets.

Despite redevelopment initiatives that

threatened the longevity of the market, it still

stands today and has become a landmark

for the city, and a strong neighborhood

beacon.

LA BOQUERIA

Page 33: Food Interaction: A Reclaimed Packinghouse + Food Culture Exchange

33

The prominence of La Boqueria along

the main thoroughfare of Las Ramblas

establishes the importance of food in the

daily lives of local residents. The size and

selection offered here now draw tourists

from all over the world. The market’s vitality

even today poignantly illustrates what the

Spanish people value - good, fresh food for

themselves and their families. Scale is critical

here - the market really stands to serve the

whole city and visiting tourists, and their

exceptional selection draws residents by

whatever mode of transport is necessary.

EATALY

Page 35: Food Interaction: A Reclaimed Packinghouse + Food Culture Exchange

35

This Italian food hall offers multiple stations

focusing on a specific food as the main

ingredient. The multitude of choices leads to

a wandering sequence through the space.

However, the stacks of imported products in

the more elegant version of the supermarket

within the food hall sterilize the space and is

not perceived as a place for the average

consumer, but rather the affluent city

dweller. And while food is prepared in front

the customer, there is very little knowledge

exchange between cook and customer.

PLAZA FOOD HALL

Page 37: Food Interaction: A Reclaimed Packinghouse + Food Culture Exchange

37

As with the Eataly Food Hall, the Plaza

Food Hall scales the concept down to

only a few stations where renowned chefs

make food inches from the plate. The entry

market allows customers to buy artisanal

products and specialty goods used in the

restaurant. However, this project also serves

a more affluent customer more interested in

well made and well crafted plates rather

than hands on interaction and an equal

relationship between cook and customer.

Located on Santa Barbara Street in San Luis

Obispo, Sustenance functions both as part

cooking school and part restaurant. Here,

the customers become the chefs and learn

to make a dish alongside others looking to

learn a thing or two about cooking. The main

space contains both kitchen prep area and

dining tables surrounding the central island,

allowing for direct communication at all

phases of the preparation and consumption

process. This main space also houses artists’

exhibits and large events, becoming a bigger

facet of the community.

In an effort to address the scarce resources

for organic food in the Potrero Annex,

“this project provides an organic garden,

education center and farmer’s market within

a thriving but underserved community.”

In partnership with Alice Water’s Edible

Schoolyard and Architecture for Humanity,

the proposal has its roots planted firmly

within the community. Essentially this project

becomes a community center, “serving to

connect people to the earth and to one

another.”

“This festival pavilion tells the story of the

making of chocolate through an immersive,

multi-sensory environment that is equal

parts education and appetite. Visitors

enter through a filter of galleries, formed

by stacks of shipping pallets, where display

graphics illustrate the multinational process

of artisanal chocolate production. Beyond

the galleries, a communal tasting table runs

the length of the pavilion, where chocolate

makers share the stories of their craft and

samples of their unique blends.”

CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM

Page 45: Food Interaction: A Reclaimed Packinghouse + Food Culture Exchange

45

In Raleigh’s Depot Historic District, an

old building for Allen Forge & Welding

is transformed into a new museum that

has revitalized this struggling area of the

city. The addition of the outdoor canopy

signals the newly renovated interior, but

also creates a reception area for visitors to

mingle during large art events. The potential

of this humdrum building was recognized by

Brooks+Scarpa, and the history of the area

was preserved in their take on the modern

art museum.

This early 20th century streetcar repair

and maintenance facility has been

abandoned for decades, and Du Toit’s

retrofit transformed the space into artist

studios, housing, community spaces, and

parks. Once the project was completed, a

community led farmer’s market moved onto

the property, and performances have been

completely full capacity. This is an important

example of a successful retrofit that utilized

existing building shells to transform an entire

community and take pride in this former

industrial site that had been abandoned

because of perceived lack of necessity.

The concrete contruction of an old barn

in Sonoma County provided the strong

physical and historical base for this modern

intervention. The frameless glass box

inserted into the barn as well as carefully

cut portions of the existing walls lend a

lightness to the project and a seamless

transition from interior to exterior space.

Different programmatic areas are defined

by varying ground levels and a mixture of

materials along the ground plane. Walden

Studios takes a more drastic approach

concerning the question of maintaining

existing architecture.

Taking advantage of the necessary open

floor plan of the old shipyard, MS & R

concentrated on furniture interventions and

interior renovation for the corporate campus

of Urban Outfitters. The existing steel

structure of the old Navy shipyard buildings

works in balanced tension with the new

addition of glass and wood in circulation

spaces. This project exemplifies the potential

for existing, abandoned structures to be

given second lives as viable architectural

and experiential spaces.

FOOD DESERTS IN ORANGE

Food deserts are geographic areas where access to healthy, fresh produce, dairy, and meat is severely limited or nonexistent for low-income families. Reasons for this may be sheer distance from mainstream supermarkets, high prices, or inadequate public transit.

SOUTH VIEW OF LOADING AREA

The Villa Park Orchards Packinghouse was established in Villa Park in 1912 when 48 local fruit growers organized to harvest, pack, and market their fruit. In 1967, VPOA moved into the newly available packinghouse in Orange to handle the overflow of produce at their main location. In 1978, packing operations at the original site stopped, and VPOA transferred permanently to the Orange location. Chapman University purchased the packinghouse in 2004 and leased the facility back to VPOA. Packing operations ended in 2006, at which time the facility was the sole remaining operating packinghouse in Orange County. The facility is now on the Registry for National Historic Places. Chapman University uses the building for storage of new furniture shipments currently. Plans for moving the science department to the main packinghouse are in the works.

THE PURPOSE

provide a permanent fixture in the community for the emerging farmer’s market

provide an alternative for food procurement and job opportunities in exchange for fresh food

increase walkability of the downtown core between the plaza and chapman university

utilize an abandoned lot for outdoor space residents actually want to use

Under the rust and three coats of teal, yellow, and cream paint was a structurally sound pair of metal legs. Under the cobwebs and varnish darkened with time was a solid slab of wood with raised platforms perfect for preparing food. From these raw ingredients a cutting surface formed, which then became the backdrop to new conversation at the first thesis show of the year. The bread knife left the marks of everyone who had taken a piece - a testament to the temporality of ‘perfection’ and denial of the human touch. Now, as a finished object, the cutting surface remains imperfect, with these cuts preserved and new cuts encouraged.

First there was fire. Then the hearth. Then

the dining table. All centers of community, sustenance,

process, and sensory memory. Ideally, each one of us

utilizes a surface for eating three times a day; 1095 times

a year. What if this individual necessity translated into an

urban framework - a city dining table built on community,

sustenance, process and sensory memory?

A SHIFT IN FOCUS

Page 99: Food Interaction: A Reclaimed Packinghouse + Food Culture Exchange

Program requirements within the packinghouse proved to be an inefficient solution for the space, so I shifted focus to the outdoor metal canopy located immediately in front of the packinghouse. In keeping with Chapman University’s plans, I foresee the packinghouse being converted to a new science department, with the ability to expand on their Food Science program. The market and cooking labs would work in conjunction with the science department while still providing a comfortable place for the surrounding community.

Influenced by the aged rail lines and wood tracks adjacent to the site, the simple forms of the furniture take on this aesthetic, while the industrial character of the site remains intact. Updated with new standing seam metal siding and glass facades for visual transparency, the building retains its character but allows for passersby to witness bustling activity within.

To encourage a comprehensive integration with the surrounding community, it is important to promote an open dialogue between the interior and exterior. The east facade on the ground floor is designed to promote as much as interaction between the two as possible. Two windows in each bay open outward on pivoting hinges, extending the space out and creating an awning for the concrete outdoor bar.
