KITA-R

This project is to design an explorative and pragmatic multi-purpose building about 3 to 5 storeys high located in Johor Bahru City Center Area. With the theme of resilience architecture, a commercial and leisure type of building is to be proposed for the 1.5-acre site.  

KITA-R which translates to KITA (we)- R (Recycle) is an urban food center that strives to change society's norm of living to be with food resilience to care for ourselves and the world. The cycle of this system would help in reducing the food waste that surrounds us.

With its concept of a gateway for understanding the urban food system and inspired by the greenhouse and garden wall, this community hub aims to provide an engagement area for the community to strengthen the bond between them and awareness of food resilience.
