Vertical Farming Systems for Urban Food Security: Design and Evaluation

Designs and evaluates a vertical farming prototype integrated into urban building design.

About this project

This project explores vertical farming as an architectural response to urban food insecurity. It designs a building-integrated hydroponic farm prototype, evaluates spatial, lighting and water requirements, and models potential yield per square metre compared with conventional urban agriculture, concluding with design guidelines for architects.

Methodology

Design-based research

Chapters 1–5 outline

Chapter 1

Introduction: background to vertical farming in architecture, statement of the problem (cities import nearly all their food while arable land shrinks), aim and objectives, research questions, scope, significance of the study, and definition of terms.

Chapter 2

Literature Review: theoretical framework, review of related works on vertical farming in architecture, gaps in existing studies, and a summary positioning this project.

Chapter 3

Methodology / System Analysis and Design: design-based research; prototype modelling; yield simulation. Includes data collection method, system requirements, use-case and architecture diagrams (or population, sample size, and instrument).

Chapter 4

Implementation and Results: an evaluated prototype and design guidelines for building-integrated farming. Presentation of findings, testing, evaluation, and discussion of results.

Chapter 5

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations: key findings, contribution to knowledge, limitations, and recommendations for further research.
