The "Loading Zone" project aims to design a food co-op in New Orleans that caters to the community of the Lower 9 Ward, an area that is prone to flooding and is a food desert, with limited access to food. The project features movable pieces that allow for the distribution of food containers to the local community. Additionally, the structure utilizes I-beams to float on water, enabling it to withstand floods and prevent damage to the structure. The Loading Zone food co-op is a sustainable and innovative solution to provide accessible and healthy food options to the community, while also addressing the challenges posed by the area's environmental conditions. The project exemplifies a design that prioritizes sustainability, adaptability, and community welfare.
