VERDANT LOCUS
A GREEN MARKET FOR CALLOWHILL
Semester: Spring ‘21 | Instructor: Brian DeLuna
In the Callowhill District, located on Buttonwood and 10th St., resides Verdant Locus, an interactive market mostly consisting of gardens and open green spaces. As one approaches the area, they are instantly met with the familiar atmosphere of community and belonging. The project is sandwiched between a restaurant and a multi-purpose building consisting of independent art studios - creating a great opportunity for communal interaction in the Callowhill district. The market will consist of multiple quadrants: a community vegetable garden, a hemp garden, an interior agroforestry, a public venue, multiple outdoor public spaces, and a farmers market. These quadrants will work co-dependently and will rely on one another for resources and income..
