The project aims to reflect a return to healthy life. Vertical farming has the potential to provide healthy food to people quickly without being affected by time and space. The existing cinema will now be a vertical farm, and housing units will smoothly shell both geometrically and materially the existing building which allows residents to access. In addition, personal vertical farming shell will be provided in each housing units with a large kitchen, dining, and balcony space. On the first floor of the building will be an organic food supermarket that sells healthy food from the vertical farm and it will provide a healthy food culture to its neighbors as well as residents.
