Smithfield Food (In)Sector proposes converting London’s largest meat market into a large-scale insect farming and consumption centre. Human’s toxic habits and excess lifestyles have provided a constant disturbance and disruption to Earth’s ecosystem and ecological successions. Through the destruction of habitats by deforestation, and the pollution of atmospheres by urbanisation, overpopulation, and overexploitation. This imbalance of natural environments has led to the loss of biodiversity and food insecurity within regions of the globe.

Located in Smithfield Market in Central London, the brief is composed of three different phases and focuses: creating different ecologies and microclimates to increase biodiversity, converting London’s largest meat market into an insect market, and finally reinventing traditional market spaces by designing non-human and human co-inhabiting spaces.
