SYMBIO-FARM
A modern farmhousewherefarming can be carried on in a symbioticwaywiththeprivacy of a comfortablehome.
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.
A steelconstructionandaxlesystem has beencreatedwhereeverything is gatheredunderoneroof as material. Woodwasused as wallmaterial.
