The storage of edible goods is something that modern cities are highly dependent on but that often is overlooked and taken for granted. Edible goods need specific conditions and treatments in order to prolong their life of use. This includes, for example, controlling humidity, temperature and lighting conditions.
The two projects depart from the storage of grain and consider the general and the specific use of it.
In the periphery the proposal is a grain silo, to store a lot of product, with a very small surface footprint, as it is vertical.
In the center a brewery shows the consumer the fermentation and storage of barley into beer as a way of preserving the product.
The brewery receives its barley from the periphery, linking the two projects not only by the stored goods but also by the dependence on each other. Coming together with the different stages of using the grain through storage is the focus of the programme.
