Our proposal combines polyculture and loop geometry in order to optimize agricultural production while simultaneously regenerating the derelict landscape that is Torre Baró. Located in the northern part of Barcelona, the site is mostly a dead zone, with limited pedestrian traffic or other activity, infertile soils, and a patchwork of unproductive plant species. Polyculture is [...]

G5 Midterm Presentation
Our explorations started with this first experiment, which is made from tape: We decided to continue our exploration of this typology of material, which is notable for its continuity and its bending properties. As we played around with different configurations of the ribbon, we discovered emergent properties, such as its ability to stretch. Inspired by [...]
