Newark VC
Choosing what’s good to eat is one of the most basic decisions in life,
but one that can be difficult in many urban centers. Healthy food needs
to be made more accessible to the citizens of Newark. This project
addresses this problem while locating the visitor’s center to create a
seamless transition from city to park. The roofscape is a functioning
garden that educates the city about plant systems and other sustainable
practices. It is an urban space that elevates the visitor above the
street, and create a connection between the city and the riverfront
park. Rooftop plants are arranged adjacent to companion plants—they
improve nutrient uptake, pest control, structural support, sunlight
control, and spatial efficiency. For example, basil improves the flavor
of tomatoes when the two are planted together. With this organization,
the garden is a subtly shifting landscape of mutually beneficial plant
combinations.
