The Temple of Food is an urban Food production hub that worships nature and praises humanism. The proposed system works on the basis of a circular economy re-establishing a closed nutrient cycle, making the new structures essential parts of each city.

With the increasing rate of urbanization and densification in our cities, the current agricultural methods need to be rethought.

The proposed vertical food production hub can change the parasitic behaviour our cities currently have with the countryside

Becoming central hubs for knowledge sharing, social gatherings where the growth, production and consumption of food is reintroduced into the local culture.

Therefore, instigating a communal and individual food awareness that will sustain urban farms and a healthier society.

By bringing the people closer to nature a more ecocentric society becomes possible.
