Spaces of Opportunity

http://dsgnagnc.com/portfolio/spaces-of-opportunity/

DSGN AGNC is working with Cultivate South Phoenix (CUSP) and the Desert Botanical Garden to design Spaces of Opportunity (SOO) an 18-acre site in South Phoenix with spaces for farming, gardening, education and community. Furthermore, Cultivate South Phoenix (CUSP) proposes to develop a community-driven “food hub” that will facilitate the sustainable production of fresh and healthy food and engineer broad and equitable local access to this food through its distribution within a variety of settings: schools, businesses, the faith community, health care, and non-profit organizations. Lead Designer: Quilian Riano (DSGN AGNC).
