AKM_FATHOM
FATHOM is an Adaptive Fish Farm Hub & Research Facility which would promote a healthy aquaculture environment which consists of three primary programmatic components; research space, public space, and marine life space. The combination of these elements manifests into a hub for people, technology, research and marine biodiversity. Small scale urban fish farms will inevitably become increasingly more relevant in the near future as local food sourcing becomes a dire necessity in order to create a sustainable human lifestyle. Aquaculture facilities today inadequately address the context of our ever growing urban fabric and the redefinition of the architecture of these types of facilities has been marginally explored.
Behaving as a coral reef for humans, FATHOM is a biological natural system which provides water, energy, food and flexible social spacial qualities as the rise and fall of tides dictate where people, fish and water flows through the building. The industrial mood of the steel superstructure composed of a space frame takes form in an exotic appearance which is en-wrapped by an opaque skin capturing the organic nature of deep sea creatures that generates a layered blurred cohesion of artificial and natural spacial environments.
