Beside those, Jakarta as one of the largest metropolitan area in South East Asia also suffers from the environment damage as the effect of global warming that had already spread worldwide. Architecture and the industries that directly involved are one of several that causes it. Green Architecture as one of architecture's discipline can be applied to minimize the damage of a building to the environment. The purpose of this designing process is a design of an integrated urban farm that can integrate among cultivation, production, research, and marketing activity, also contribute to the healing of the environment by apllied Green Architecture's principles. The design issue is how to integrate cultivation, production, research, and marketing activity on an urban farm building that applies Green Architecture's principle. The method that used is architecture designing method which consist of several stages.
