Theprojectarea is located 3 km fromthecitycenter of Ciudad Real (Spain), in an areawherefarmhousesandagriculturalfieldsbegin. Inaddition, awarenessactivitiesforpeoplecomingfromthecitywerealsowantedto be carriedout. Thesurroundingfarmhouses, theirneeds, regionalissuesanduniversalcontributionsweretakenintoaccount. Here, it wasaimedtoprovide service to a family of 6, tocreategatheringareas in theorchardswheresustainability is explained on certaindays of themonth, andtoraiseawarenessaboutfarmworksand how tocreateawarenessabouttheenvironmentfromtheresultingproductsandwastes here.



Inordertocreatethe final result of theproject, a universityperiodwasspentboth in terms of settlement on thelandandconceptualdevelopment, andtheprojectwasiterated.



Theproject can be designedbypayingattentiontotheclimaticconditions in differentregionsforthefuture.

Theprojectwasdesigned in such a waythat a family of 6 couldtakecare of thefarmwork, wheretheyspend 365 days a year. Time willreturnboth as a contributiontotheenvironmentandtothisfamily.



As a researchmethod, boththecitymunicipality'sinformationabouttheregionandthe Spanish articlesaboutthefarmhouseformation in Spainwereexamined. Andbytakingthisinformationintoconsiderationabouttheconceptto be createdwiththeprojectarea, progresswasmade. Researcheswerealsocarriedout in linewiththeconcept of theproject.


Foodprocessing on thefarmwasthoughtthroughintensiveagriculture. Inintensiveagriculture; modern, scientificandtechnologicalmethodsareused. It is theopposite of extensiveagriculturewithlessexpenseandlesslabor.

IntelligentAgriculturalAutomationsystemwasrequestedto be used. Farm automation, oftenassociatedwith “smartfarming”, is a technologythatmakesfarmsmoreefficientbyautomatingtheproductioncycle of cropsandlivestock. Technologies such as robotics, drones, andcomputervisionsoftwarehavecompletelytransformed modern agriculture. Also, majortechnologiesusedbyfarmsincludeharvestautomation, autonomousvehicles, seedingandweeding, anddrones. Farm automationtechnologyaddresseskeyissuessuch as global populations, farmlaborshortages, andchangingconsumerpreferences. Inaddition, the global market foragriculturalrobots is projectedtogrowto $10.1 billionby 2024.


Intheagriculturalsystem, instead of normal fieldcultivation, it wasdesiredtogrowcropsfor 4 seasonswithboththerevenue of gardenfruitsandtheverticalfarmingsystem in thegreenhouse. One of theoldestandmostsoughtafteragriculturaltechnologies/innovations is 'VerticalFarming'. A skyscraper is made in verticallystackedlayers, such as a usedwarehouseorshippingcontainer. Also, thistype of farmingusesindoorfarmingtechniquesandcontrolledenvironmentfarming (CEA) technologytocontrolenvironmentalfactors. In 2020, verticalfarming has takenthenextstage in development. This has reducedtheamount of landrequiredtogrowcropscomparedtotraditionalfarmingmethods. Inaddition, LEDsprovidelighttoplantsandaremoreefficientthanotherartificiallightingmechanisms. Contextually, many start-upsandsmallbusinessesarehelpingtodevelopverticalfarming.

Verticalfarmingadvantagesnoted here:

• Buyingmoreproducts in lessspace

• Tosave on laborandcost

• Obtaining a reliableproduct

• Beingabletoproduceanywhere in citycenters

• Itensuresthatagriculture is not done in thecity, andtheair of thecitychanges.

• An ideal farmingmethod in terms of soilandareashortages.

• Instead of indexingagricultureonlytothevillage, tomakethesameproductsproduced in thevillagesmoreadvantageousbyreducingthefuelcostandpreventingthecrushing of food.

• Inaddition, productionwill be madeusingultravioletlightsandproductionwillcontinuethroughouttheyear.

• Lesspesticideuse, mediasterilization not requiredorfacilitated

• Greenhouseheatingexpensesarelow

• Theareaswhereproduction can be madeareverydiverse

• Plantsare fed in a controlledmanner

• Plantdensity is highperunitarea.

• Irrigationbecomeseasierandplants do not experiencewaterstress

• The time betweenharvestingthepreviouscropandstartingthenewproduction is veryshort

• Providesearliness

• Therearealternativecultivationmethodsaccordingtothetype of production

• There is nocarcinogenicnitrateaccumulation in theproduct.

• No weed problem

• Production is possiblewherethesoil is not suitableforplantproduction.


Here, a variety of region-specificfruitsandvegetableshavebeenchosen in linewiththeconcept, but theseareproductswith a lot of expansionforthefuture.

DESIGN DECISIONS

Whilemakingdesigndecisions; Inordertoachieve a symbioticrelationshipbetweenthefarmhouseandtheauxiliaryspaces of thefarmandthenaturalenvironment, it wasdesiredtocreate a project in which a transition is providedwithotherauxiliaryopenspaceswhereeverything is actually a whole, workingtogetherandfeedingeachother, takingthelandboundaries as reference. Allthedifferentfunctionswereplaced on thesamecarriersystem as a singleroofandwererequiredtowork as a whole. It is desiredtocreate a structuredenvironmentaccordingtothefunctionalareaneedwith 5 m and 10 m axesbypayingattentiontothecirculationareas in theanimalsheltersandthetreeplantingintervals in theorchardsthat can be grown in theregion.

At thesame time, plantwastesandanimalmanuresfromtheresultingproductsareconvertedintoheatandelectricalenergy in thebiogasplantandeverything is in workingcondition. An eco-friendlyfarmhouseprojectwascreated, feedingeachotherandadheringtosustainability in thebestwaypossible.
