Abstract
This study proposes a Gastronomic Center as a new development for Jeddah to enhance the city and Kingdom. The center would lay groundwork for research and innovation in agriculture and provide culinary education opportunities for locals. In the longer run this may benefit the Kingdom s economy and give it the ability to become more self-reliant. The center would also be a new social hub around the theme of healthy lifestyle, boosting local culture and tourism. The research includes case study analysis and design requirements for unique spaces covered of vertical farm projects and culinary institute projects. Based on this, a detailed program was designed. Additionally site analysis was carried out at Northern part of Jeddah in Ash Shati District in order to facilitate site zoning and building configuration. In this study, a tower project was designed with two main components: a vertical farm and a culinary school. Additional components include student residence, research facilities and a public zone
