Urban Agriculture
Design approaches to growing food in cities, from vertical farms to integrated residential agriculture systems.
Urban agriculture explores how designers and architects can integrate food production into city environments. This includes vertical farming systems, rooftop gardens, and hybrid residential spaces that combine living and growing.
The community examines projects ranging from dedicated urban farm structures and facade-integrated greenery to homes designed around farming practices, investigating how architecture can support local food systems and sustainable urban living.
