The concept is set out to allow us to question what nature is, and bring industry, biophilia, and wildlife closer together, and by lifting the food production spaces above, a ground floor can serve as a park

Working with the Colorado river rather than against it, The Farm is using its thermal mass, and its steady temperature as a climate control mechanism in the harsh dry and arid climate. Water which has twice the thermal mass of common materials such as concrete, will mediate the changing temperature in the desert. The river also plays a structural role in carrying the building and allowing it to float, which means that as the water level rises in the future, the new facility will coexist with the changes

The permeability of the ground floor offers a series of interconnected recreational spaces for families to gather and picnic with pools, play areas, fishing spots, kayaking to the revitalized wetlands, and allow them to engage in the industrial practices. The aquaponics farm which is located on the west side of the park, invites fish to enter the inlet, and eat from the nutrients of the aquaponic farm, this creates the opportunity for small fishing pools for recreational fishing
