The increasing demand for protein puts

pressure on agricultural land. Land scarcity

and increasing population growth puts even

more pressure on the agricultural land. To

meet our future food demand, alternative food

sources should be taking into consideration.

The Entomophagy (the eating of insects) can

be a solution to meet our future food demand.

While eating insects is part of the menu in

most Asian countries. It is still a taboo in the

western world.

Prepupal is an insect farm that focuses

on farming edible insects for human

consumption. The agriculture consist of

cultivating two types of insects ( the black

soldier fly and the cricket). These insects are

ground into mincemeat. Then they are made

into hamburger patty’s. The insect farm is

capable of producing 8,7 million patty’s a year

( 24.000 a day) . Beside the patty’s the insects

also produce frass which can be used as

compost.

The architecture of the insect farm is an oval

shaped egg building with an outergalery and

boxes in the center combined with a central

core. The outer ring provides a radiance to the

environment and gives spaciousness, while

the inner part is compact.
