The Hudson Exchange, a proposal for the Emerging New York Architects Competition by SWARM, was recently awarded second place for their concept. The design is a point of transfer incorporating a diversity of stakeholders relevant to community education, production, transport, and distribution of locally grown and sustainable food in West Harlem. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Designed as the main collector in a larger regional network, the Exchange serves as a multidisciplinary and collaborative hub: bringing together experts and activists in food policy, nutrition, ecology and urban systems, it links their efforts to community constituencies in West Harlem.
