KALE: IT’S A- OKAY!
Kale, a leafy green vegetable with a hefty texture and a hearty, earthy taste, is enjoying its moment
in the sun – literally, because we’re harvesting plenty of it at Fairgate Farm right now. And
figuratively, too, because this healthful vegetable has been cropping up on restaurant menus
everywhere!
It’s all good … because kale is tasty, satisfying and super-good for you! It makes a delicious juice
(and there’s no green more gorgeous than just-juiced kale) … crunchy and yummy when chopped
into a salad … and richly satisfying when steamed or sautéed with oil, garlic and a twist of lemon.
It’s worth developing a taste for kale because just one cup of raw kale provides more than 5 grams

STRUCTURE
Too much space
Too little space
Often created by large expenses of surface parking, creates emptiness
and isolation.
SEPARATION BETWEEN INSTITUTIONS AND NEIGHBORHOODS CAN BE CREATED EITHER THROUGH SPACE OR BUILDINGS.
The juxtaposition of large institutional-scaled buildings
to smaller residential fabric can create tension.
SCALE AND USE MUST BE CAREFULLY CALIBRATED TO INTEGRATE THE TWO.
