Observation & Design
Analytic characteristics about weather, precipitation rates and soil composition construct an initial understanding of a site. However, on site observation leads to a deeper comprehension of the interaction of those elements, resulting in site specific solutions and innovation.
Natural patterns such as spirals, vortices and tree branching participate in both the understanding of natural phenomena - like water running through a field - as well as the design process. Assimilating patterns found in nature allows the design of a dynamic model, in which natural phenomena and the aims of each project interact in cooperation rather than dissonance.
The design process of an agricultural project aspires to resolve possible issues with the minimum amount of energy, working with nature rather than against it. The aim is to find sustainable and efficient solutions that require the least amount of human intervention long term.
