PROJECT SUMMARY:
The objective of this project was to help us learn how to adapt language models to a real location. Skills such as how to carve out space from the ground with a rule-based system developed from data were further developed.

PHASE I: LANGUAGE MODEL
A rule-based system was developed to design within an 8” x 8” - 16” x 16” spatial limit.

PHASE II: URBAN SEED BANK SUBWAY ENTRANCE
The language model was further developed into an urban seed bank subway station entrance, where the Wilshire Normandie subway station is currently located in Koreatown, Los Angeles. The seed bank could be used as a space to store and harvest seeds, conduct further research on the plants, and educate the public.

DATA:
A conversation I had with my Environmental Engineering friend about the Harber Process led me to draw data from a study conducted in California. The study examined the following data points for a total of 32 crops in 1973 and 2005.
- quantity of nitrogen that was used for each
- a crop’s nitrogen use percentage to the total amount used that year
- how many acres were planted for each
Although it is a hot topic of debate with harmful drawbacks as great as the benefits it provides, I chose to keep as neutral a perspective as possible and simply apply the data.
