In the context of climate change, this scheme implements sustainable practices in the heart of the buzzing city of Bristol. Located in Castle Park, the project re-uses one of the existing 1960s abandoned banks on the West side of the site, the Norwich Union Bank. Urban Agricopolis aims to teach the public about sustainability through practical and theoretical learning. The proposal includes food production facilities that use new technologies, such as aquaponics and vertical growing systems, and two food sale areas, the supermarket and the covered market, allowing two different shopping experiences. The proposal also includes an educational facility, aiming to teach the public about sustainability and food, for instance how to grow their own products from home. The entirety of the building is accessible to the public, in order for them to see and understand the process behind sustainable food production.
