Circular Food Economy and its Architecture


Concern:

The customers of the local eateries occupy the footpath for eating which restricts pedestrian movement there, the cooking and eating conditions of the eateries there have been compromised due to a lack of space.

Design Question:

How can the architecture of eating and growing food help in blurring the existing landscape to create a common, communal experience?
