Not the prettiest thing I have ever produced – granted- but I just need to pictoralise some ideas I had yesterday. Here I imagine the fish ponds could be something akin to the gas silos located in vicinity of the site with walkways weaved inbetween. The canopy can then form light/ water funnels into the fish ponds.

Aesthetically I have been looking at a style in fashion called ’steampunk’. Could be a red herring  but visually at least I like this idea as it is a skewed take on the site’s industrial past but also embodies a gritty urban future.

I have also been looking at the Carbon Diaries 2015 by Saci Lloyd looks at a world where carbon is rationed within the City of London -a dystopian vision- which could be a relevant setting to place my thesis project within.

Common interest piece for those of us doing thesis projects based around agriculture.  Based on a science fiction novel called Dune.

Does anyone know of any fictional books written on the collapse of food systems??? – would be a good hook to base ideas around

Brief pictorial summary of some ideas that I will be focusing on for my thesis-

aquaculture and agriculture, east meets west and visual impact
