TITLE: Farm Foundry

TIME FRAME: Tomorrow

HISTORICAL DATE: 1910 - The worst oil spill on land occurs. 

ISSUE: The soil has become unusable due to industry 

RESOLUTION: A vertical farm utilizing hydroponics

SHIP ACCESS: A hole cut into the structure below allows for marine vessels to sail underneath. This allows for food to be dropped down directly onto the vessel and allow the ship to continue it's journey in an efficient manor. 

RECYCLING/GREEN ENERGY: Steel trusses will be recycled and repurposed to build the the farm vertically. Recycled steel will also be melted down and turned into the vertical farm systems. Wind turbines will provide green energy to run the vertical farm. Water desalination tanks will turn the ocean water into viable irrigation water for the plants. 

THESIS: This project transforms an oil rig into a food generating machine.
