About Discussions Projects6 Journals15

Impromptu farming explores how designers and architects embed agricultural systems into cities, homes, and workplaces. Projects range from vertical gardens and green facades to functional farm spaces within urban buildings, addressing food production, sustainability, and community engagement through spatial design.

The community examines conversions of existing structures into growing spaces, creation of hybrid farm-retail-residential programs, and integration of aquaculture and vertical farming into contemporary architecture. Work demonstrates farming as both a practical system and an architectural intervention that transforms how buildings function.

Toolset for a City's Metabolism

We call for embracing voids within urban tissue, not necessarily meaning these should be neglected in planning but rather open for spontaneity. As a spatial tool we propose a structure that can grow and shrink according to the needs and engagement of its creators - the locals. Constructed out of simple scaffolding elements it is fully reusable.

Sociable Aquafarm

The idea of the project was to create the farm as a public complex, not only industrial for employees and scientists, but also from local people and tourists participate. The purpose of the farm is to be a center for sustainable agriculture and through its activities it will tell people about alternative farming methods.
