RELEASE

In order to foster community between elderly people, immigrants and college students we made hte second floor into a green house where the tenants in this building can grow vegetables and then sell them themselves at the co-op that will be next door. It's gonna be a great system. we have a lot of other peices to it that's gonna make it perfect for jobs and people getting to know each other and it helps them be green and sustainable.

The way that we've decided to bring people together on neighborhood C's second floor is by creating a greenhouse system with connecting eating area and food co-op. In this area all of the tenants will be offered volunteer and job opportunities. They will be given the choice to work in the co-op or help grow and harvest the produce that is being grown in the greenhouse. They can watch their plants grow and sell them or eat them themselves.

By creating a opportunity for people such as this we are giving people nearby jobs and limitless opportunities to meet their neighbors.

Release is meant by the way you feel when you feel when you enter the space and experience this exterior environment on the interior. You get a sense of being in a different place and escaping your everyday routine. It also applies to the way plants grow, releasing into full bloom.
