The objective of the Urban Farm Studio is to speculate upon the possibility of a newly intensified hybrid urban-agricultural paradigm, including its social, ecological, and material configurations, and to propose a range of innovative architectural solutions. As designers your challenge will be to reconsider long-entrenched notions about the incompatibility of farm and city, and to invent newly productive urban spaces of ecological symbiosis and cultural exchange. The studio will emphasize the simultaneous development of operative programmatic strategies and adaptive formal systems, and will enable students to go beyond the obvious examples of backyard gardens or rooftop farms toward more complex and highly articulated proposals.
