Community Garden
Shared green spaces designed to cultivate food, community connection, and environmental stewardship.
Community gardens combine landscape design, architecture, and social infrastructure to create spaces where people grow food and build connections. These projects explore how gardens function as both productive landscapes and gathering places that strengthen neighborhoods.
The community examines how gardens integrate into built environments through facade greening, adaptive reuse of public spaces, and the design of cafes and hubs that anchor community activity. Projects range from agricultural landscapes and passive house gardens to converted urban shells and hillside interventions that embed cultivation into architecture.
