The Seed: A New Farming System that Bridges Urban and Rural Areas

University/SchoolSavannah College of Art and Design
Lead ArchitectZiheng Li

This project addresses the critical issue of rural depopulation and declining farmland by creating a sustainable, community-focused environment that bridges the gap between urban and rural life. The "Seed" concept uses modular units combining traditional Sichuan courtyard structures with innovative vertical farming, maximizing land use and fostering social interaction. The design maximizes sunlight, uses solar tiles for energy, and incorporates terraced farming for efficient water use. Cultural spaces like dye workshops and a central stage promote rural traditions and create additional income.
