Urban Jungle explores how designers and architects incorporate natural systems, farming and vegetation into city spaces. The topic covers projects that reimagine buildings and urban plots as productive landscapes, from vertical farms to green facades and integrated food systems.

The community examines adaptive strategies for densely built areas, including converting narrow urban sites into functional green spaces, wrapping buildings with living systems, and creating habitats that combine residential, agricultural and community functions in peripheral and central urban locations.

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.

Nomad House

This proposal also serves as a critique to the current working environments. It is a hybrid housing and working model that allows renewal and flexibility to take place not only at the macro scale but also at the micro and meso scale. This model discusses how the technology, people and nature will interact in the future.

Fore^t De Poche

Creating an oxygen chamber using elements from nature, and creating a micro-climate within, along with raising awareness regarding pollution are the main objectives of this natural walkway. The installation is a self-sufficient module, that produces its own electricity, and focuses on highlighting sensory experience within the design.

We are how we eat

Nowadays, cities are facing food-related problems which come from the separation between food producers and consumers as well as urban areas and countryside. The New Covent Market located in the Nine Elms District in London is a perfect chance to blur the separation and bring a new sustainable lifestyle to the citizens.

Farm/House, A Hustle Hub for Young Hustler

Farm/House is a new housing strategy that combines housing with urban farming. Here, a young hustler who doesn't have much money to rent a house at the city center can rent as they need. They can rent the initial minimum house unit that can be extended later. The unused housing space that they don't rent will work as urban farming. Simple and profitable!

New urban unit

Every crisis is a shake up of a society. Architecture is also a social philosophy: Campanella's "City of the Sun", Howard's "Garden City", "Arcosanti" Soleri's. This project is an architectural fantasy on this topic. The basis is idea of human needs, from creativity in normal mode to survival in a crisis mode.

SUPER CP!

Connaught Place imagined as a model CBD creating space for people to have meaningful interactions, whether casual or formal; planned or serendipitous; in liesure or in seriousness. At the core of the very idea of a city, Super CP embodies the historical as well as the futuristic purpose of human interaction, cooperation and innovation.

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.
