Sustainable Farm
Architectural and design approaches to sustainable farming, food production, and farm-integrated living spaces.
Sustainable farm design explores how architecture can support agricultural practices while addressing food security, community resilience, and environmental stewardship. Projects in this area range from institutional facilities serving low-income farmers to integrated farm-house models that combine residential and productive spaces.
The community examines diverse typologies including urban farms, terraced agricultural landscapes, farm-integrated housing, and structures that incorporate natural systems like vertical forests. Work here addresses social impact, material sustainability, and the relationship between built form and food production.
