George Butler-Fenn
BA (Hons) Architecture
A young and motivated individual who wants to help urban environments thrive with a symbiosis within the natural world. Aiming to create positive social and economic cohesion that could change the way we farm forever. The strain on agricultural land was a key inspiration in designing the substructure underneath modular farms. This building is an attempt to bridge the rural and urban divide by integrating them together. Hexagonal plant cells were one of the biggest inspirations throughout this project. Tessellation was key to achieving maximum space efficiency, whilst also creating interesting patterns and forms. The farm structures are modular meaning they can be placed around the city, if these structures profit quickly, bio-diversity could increase rapidly bringing a more healthier and sustainable version of urban life.
