Class: landarc551, Senior Project in Landscape Architecture, Eric Schuchardt & Shawn Kelly
Major: Landscape Architecture
This project investigates the design of a barge delivery food hub located at the Port of Milwaukee. Situated on Lake Michigan at the northernmost port of the Mississippi river system, intersecting three major rivers, with two on-site rail lines and within a half mile of two major highways, the derelict Solvay Coke and Gas site is the ideal testing ground for exploring the potential of a multi-modal food distribution network. Food system transparency, food accessibility, public waterfront access, and brownfield remediation are integral components of this proposal. The design strategies and research for this site in the City of Milwaukee will be used to communicate the greater regional and community impacts of creating a decentralized food distribution system in alliance with the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems and an interdisciplinary team of stakeholders invested in rethinking the future of our food systems.
