This agricultural center goes beyond simply serving as an educational facility. It not only offers students hands-on training in sustainable farming practices, but also provides new opportunities for local residents who are set to lose their own gardens due to urban redevelopment. The design strategically organizes circulation, agricultural activities, and educational experiences along a single linear axis, creating a functional and cohesive space. This axis is oriented to maximize solar exposure, enhancing energy efficiency and promoting sustainable practices.
Efficient land use is prioritized, enabling a productive agricultural engagement while fostering a deeper connection with the natural environment. Students will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills by learning and working in these integrated educational and farming spaces. But this project is not just for students — it’s also a vital resource for local residents, providing them with new garden plots to continue their farming traditions, even as urban redevelopment transforms their neighborhoods. This approach helps maintain their productivity and strengthens community ties.
By bringing students and local residents together, this project creates a dynamic space where learning, collaboration, and agricultural production coexist. The axis becomes much more than a simple pathway — it evolves into a vibrant, living line that supports both education and sustainability. Through this integration, the Agriculture Center embodies the possibilities of harmonious urban living with nature, serving as a model for sustainable development and social resilience. It is a space where today’s challenges meet tomorrow’s solutions, empowering both students and the community to shape a greener future.
