Constructed out of simple scaffolding elements it is fully reusable.
THE OASIS BIOME: A REGENERATIVE AGROECOSYSTEM
An inquiry into regenerative agro-structure through the design of The Oasis Biome, this report explores how architecture can act as a living ecosystem to support climate-resilient food production. Drawing from standards of agroecology, managed environment agriculture, and water-saving technology, it proposes a spatial systems where cultivation, conservation, and community empowerment intersect. The project is situated in Birulia, Savar, and serves as a design-primarily based academic research under the Bachelor of Architecture program at Southeast University.

Farmscape
The design is inspired from the traditional geographic farm land pattern of London so it is reflected in design. The iconic form covers majority of the land creating symbiosis between nature and architecture. The necessary functions and programs, zoning and infrastructures are submerged in the design as they will not hamper the natural essence.
Elms Land
From above it can be Exchanged for any cultivated field. From below, the concrete of the walls, assimilates it to the surrounding landscape.
