Urban Garden
Integration of agricultural and botanical spaces within urban environments and architecture.
Urban gardens represent a convergence of food production, landscape design, and sustainable architecture in city contexts. These projects explore how growing spaces can be embedded into buildings, facades, and neighborhoods to reshape the relationship between inhabitants and food systems.
The community examines vertical farms and green infrastructure as architectural interventions, living facades that transform building exteriors, and landscape-integrated designs that create functional ecosystems within dense urban areas. Work ranges from small-scale pocket gardens to large-scale agricultural systems integrated into residential and commercial structures.
