Vertical Farming
Architectural and design approaches to growing food vertically in urban and rural environments.
Vertical farming integrates food production into the built environment, addressing urban food security and sustainability through innovative design. This approach reimagines buildings and landscapes as productive systems that combine agriculture with architecture.
The community explores living facades and green shells on buildings, hybrid farm-residence typologies, and closed-loop food systems within cities. Projects range from retrofitting existing structures with vertical gardens to designing new institutions and homes that embed farming as a core function.
