The Food Collective: An Urban Playground
Urban Commons and Wellness
Supervisor - Dr. Ruzica Bozovic Stamenovic
The relentless pursuit of capitalists brings forth death to the commons and its social capital through commodification where an intangible boundary emerges and fluctuates from the material and immaterial as new commons. Thus this thesis seeks to rethink the politics of space in urban districts, integrated with future technologies at the core of commoning food surplus where new forms of architecture can enable people to share in a more sustainable way while building social capital and inclusivity in Singapore. This is an invitation to the collective movement, a march on restructuring of economy and realigning our social and environmental principles. Hence, the design intent proposes a Food Collective, an urban playground to reimage food surplus’s muted policy in Singapore and its physicality as a social material matter.
