CONCEPT
都市郊外のコミュニティーのための農園の計画である。シカゴ郊外では昨今、建物が空洞化する現象がよく見られる。街の中に廃墟や空地が点在し、犯罪の問題にもつながっている。
そのような地域の一つの場所で、コミュニティーを形成するための第1期計画は、2006年6月よりミーティングを重ねて2008年5月より建設に着手した。その過程のなかで、この施設計画に参加した環境団体、地域住民、建築チーム、ボランティアは、失われつつあったコミュニティーを復活させた。そして彼らは、活動を展開させるため所々に点在する空き地を借地し、更なる場を構築することを求めている。
2期計画では第1期で計画してきた「グリーンウォール」という手法に加えてこの空き地を地域のコミュニティーが“農”と“エネルギー”の生産を行う“大地と連続する人工の丘”「エナジーグランド」を提案する。

This is a sequential (a series) project from the previous “Green Wall.” In June, 2006, we started the Green Wall Project for East Garfield Community to develop their ligament in order to fight against criminal activities. Because ownerless properties and buildings are one of the safety problems for the community, we designed the public park which has been under the construction since May, 2008. Many people such as environmental organizations, architectural teams, volunteers and the community, have and will have been involved from design phase to its completion because one of the concept of the project is to tighten the friendship with the neighbors through the park. People from the community participate to build the green wall, which is made from waste around the community.
In this new project, Energy Ground –Field 02 in CHICAGO–, we suggest the new aspect to expand the ligament of East Garfield Community, the circulation. We design the farming garden which people can plant the agricultural products. The concept of the circulation implies the circulation of nature and energy. The community produces the “provisions” and “energy” from the farm and consumes them. Along with this production, consumption, and reduction, this farming garden will be the place where the circulation of the human relationship, encounters-development-ligament, will take place.
