Senior Capstone Design Project

1. World Hunger

2. Global Climate Change

3. Human Population Growth

World hunger, global climate change and the human population growth provides the need to reinvent the built environment and the agriculture industry by combining both in a sustainable manner. This research project explores the challenges and provides clarity on growing food indoors with recycled rainwater. While simultaneously providing insights into the aspects of net-zero energy structures and their designs in the missing middle housing sector. The proposed Eco-plex building can support 845 crops while recycling 88% of all gray water, saving 146,000 gallons of water per year.
