Center for Urban Agriculture design
Click on the thumbnails to enlarge the images. Drawn with pen and colored pencil. My second year architecture studio project: We had to design a Center for Urban Agriculture for the neighborhood of Homewood in Pittsburgh. I tried to create something that answers a longing for adventure and discovery that everybody has, particularly children. I wanted to create something enchanting, an escape from reality into a fantasy world of beautiful gardens and whimsical little buildings scattered about. This is a storybook-like space where nature and color transport a person to the type of place they wish existed when they read fairytales as a kid.
