Rainier Beach Food Library
2023
Design Studio

Located at the intersection of Rainier Avenue and Henderson Street, just south of the previous project, Rainier Beach Family Housing, the Food Library is a community hub. Building on the concept of mending and darning, which are methods of repair and care that follows existing textile’s stitch structure, Rainier Beach Food Library strengthens the social fabric in this neighborhood by providing needed services, improving community spaces, and includes ecology and agriculture as inseparable elements.
