A circular path connects the surrounding transit and cultural nodes. Portions of the path with favorable solar conditions are elevated to create greenhouses for growing produce year-round and optimized for sunlight. The central space is comprised of floating platforms that can be reconfigured to function as a bazaar, dock, and various other seasonal activities to produce additional income for the community. After engaging with and learning from Nourishing USA, volunteers are encouraged to open their own food stalls along the path.
